[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 551240, member: 11791"] Depending on who does what, in your area... and whether they have access to the right screening tests... HERE, the first stop would be a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), who would pre-screen for all of the APDs. If they are not specifically testing for "auditory figure ground", then they are likely using older - and less specific - screening tools. If he's missing verbal clues at school, but doesn't really have a language problem, I'd be guessing it's going to be something like auditory figure ground: this is where the brain has trouble filtering out background noise. So, they hear just fine, and learn just fine one-on-one in a quiet setting, but... classroom can be a huge problem. The good news is... APDs are met with accommodations and interventions (in this case, technology)... no medications required. [/QUOTE]
