[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 507763, member: 13003"] Technically, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) [I]is one of the APDs[/I]. Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is the more widely recognized Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). It involves the brain's ability to "process" spoken language. Unless it is very mild, it tends to be very obvious, because it affects speech as well... kids generally learn to speak based on what they hear. But there are [I]other[/I] APDs as well. I haven't gone back into my documentation recently, I think there are 3 or 4 others, one of which is "auditory figure ground" - which is a problem filtering out background noise so as to "hear" the important sounds, such as a teacher's voice in a noisy classroom. (ALL classrooms are noisy.) So... a child can have an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and NOT have any obvious language problems... but it is still an auditory processing disorder. If they haven't heard of "auditory trainers", I hadn't heard of them either except on this board. There are other terms, the one I'm more familiar with is "personal fm system", which provides a mic to the teacher and a receiver to the child's ear or child's hearing aid. For things like auditory figure ground, it is absolutely essential. I know it is used for most of the APDs, probably because any reduction in clarity makes listening difficult at the best of times. Hope that helps... [/QUOTE]
