[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 444857, member: 6235"] My DS was unofficially diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (the C has been dropped) by a private Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) (speech and language pathologist) and then confirmed by the school's Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) when he was 5 and in K. I say unofficially as SLPs only screen for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). We started some therapy and some tutoring and it seemed to help. Then fast forward to age 7 and 3rd grade and he was officially diagnosed by an Audiologist with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). This helped me get a 504 plan for him at school with a list of accomidations... some followed and some not... but that is another story. He was testing at just below grade level so I couldn't get an IEP.... at that time. In 5th grade he received an additional diagnosis of ADD and we started medications. We saw some improvement in focusing which in turn has help improve his listening. He went through a long testing process with the school and was below norm on written expression so we turned his 504 into an IEP. He is heading into the 7th grade and I have expanded his IEP every year and worked with him at home with his school work. He ended 6th grade on the B honor roll!! My DS is an extreme visual/spacial learner and anything I can do to make learning visual really helps him understand better.... more show and less tell. If you want to learn more about Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), I recommend the book, [I]When the Brain Can't Hear[/I] by Teri Bellis. I picked up a copy at my local library and then I purchased my own copy from Amazon. [/QUOTE]
