[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 502774, member: 13003"] Where's a brick wall to bang my head against for you? THIS is exactly the problem I'm trying to highlight... APDs [I]can be[/I] language processing problems - in particular, spoken language. However,... [B]APDs can also be [I]auditory processing[/I] problems, without any of the language processing problems.[/B] And most don't test for them. APDs can look exactly like ADHD. Not paying attention, not following instructions, etc. So, especially if the kid has an ADHD label to start with - they STOP RIGHT THERE. And... its wrong. How does his performance compare between: 1) one-on-one in a quiet environment, and 2) classroom? If the problem is things like auditory figure ground, the student works well in case 1) and terrible in case 2)... and they assume its the "distractions", when in fact the problem is the noise pollution in a typical classroom. You're going to have to really push for this one to be tested... but if this is one of his problems, solving it will provide a HUGE stepping stone to better performance and better behaviour. [/QUOTE]
