[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 454120, member: 11847"] I am not sure I will be much help, but we suspect our difficult child to have the same issues (not language! That would be to easy). I have read about class accomodations: 1.carpet on the floor. I would say it is doable if your son stays in the same classroom all day. 2. make things as visual as possible. I don't know how old your son is. But I can very well imagine the teacher(s) e-mailing the material that will be discussed the next day or even the next week. If he pre-studies the stuff, it should be easier to "hear" while he is in class. 3. Do to lack of support or ressources for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), I started looking at resources and support for deaf people. Maybe try to look up at typical IEP accomodations for deaf/hard hearing kids. It might give some creative idea and see what is doable. 4. Look into teaching him lip reading (also called speech reading). Lip reading skills have literally saved my husband when he was kid. I understand it might take some time (more than 1 school term?), but worth researching if your difficult child is willing to learn. husband still lip reads a lot but was not able to explain how he learned. In his situation, it was do or die. He was just "lucky" to make it with NO help. But believe me, the scares are still there. I'm sorry I cannot be any more help. Let us know how you make out with the school. What techniques, accomodations and therapy works. [/QUOTE]
