[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 102283, member: 23"] There are different kinds of APDs. As with everything else, Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) impacts individuals differently. There are some Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) threads in the Sp Ed Archives. This disorder is also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) (Central Auditory Processing Disorder). The typical school district would not have the sophisticated equipment required to thoroughly assess for APDs. This is actually the discipline of an audiologist with-expertise in APDs. School districts must contract with professionals that they don't have on staff. If the sd performs the evaluation via a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), you might want to consider asking for an IEE. Years ago, it was common for speech language pathologists to evaluate for APDs, but that's not so anymore. I'd view an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) evaluation performed by a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) as more of a screen. Ironically though, they audiologist diagnosis and the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) provides the therapy. I've read a lot of articles written by Dr. Levine. I think I have a book or two of his also. Doing research is good. The more you know, the better position you will be in to help your child. But don't get locked in on Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). [/QUOTE]
