[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 604968, member: 14557"] Not only I think you are awesome in many ways, but you just proved to be super helpful in figuring out a major accommodation that helps my difficult child and he wants to thank you. APDs are not well known with general public in my country and they only test for them with kids with dyslexia and other learning difficulties. I had never even heard about auditory figure ground before coming here. Last spring I began to consider that it kind of sounds like my son and went digging on information and passed that to difficult child's sport psychiatric, who was interested. difficult child is now in new club abroad and there is also some language barrier going on between him and his positional coach and sport psychiatric used that as a reason for the need of the audio system they use also in motor sports etc. that tones down the background noise and heightens the coach's talk. They have used it in the practises, there the positional coach is directing and advising him a lot. difficult child says it has been really helpful and while he has some difficulties trying to understand coach with his very thick English accent and limited vocabulary or coach's much better German skills meeting difficult child's limited class room German skills, it is at times easier than before at home trying to get instruction given with languages he is fluent and that are native languages of the person speaking. And when sport psychiatric talked with coaches, he got almost no usual complaints about difficult child being stubborn and wilful and doing opposite than instructed during practise and not heeding the advice. Of course part of it is difficult child trying to give good impression and part may be, that when difficult child doesn't do what asked, they assume language barrier and reiterate instead of assuming wilfulness and yelling or punishing. But anyway, difficult child finds audio system helpful and wanted to know, how I came up with the idea. I told him I have a foreign friend who has a kid with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and something she told me sounded familiar and I asked her more about it and went digging after it sounded even more familiar. difficult child asked me to say his thanks to that friend of mine. So here you go, difficult child's thank yous :flowers::yourock: [/QUOTE]
