[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 472657, member: 13003"] While you're at it... start reseaching APDs. It turns out that the "symptoms" for APDs is awfully similar to ADHD. The two conditions can co-exist (very high co-morbidity - something like 70% of ADHD kids with a Learning Disability (LD), also have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)). APDs drive kids literally crazy. And unless they have serious and obvious language problems, it tends to get missed. In particular, there is a form of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) that has to do with auditory figure ground - the ability to distinguish the "important" sounds in the presence of background noise. These kids tend to do well one-on-one in a quiet, separate room... and absolutely horridly in a classroom! APDs are a non-medicated disorder - there are hearing systems that sometimes help, mostly its accomodations. [/QUOTE]
