[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 481751, member: 13003"] Please... have him tested for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). I don't know what kind of therapy the ST has in mind, and it may help some things, but... There are forms of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) that are not necessarily tested for or recognized. This includes "auditory figure ground", where the person has trouble distinguishing sounds in the presence of background noise... and not being able to "catch" the words when the teacher turns away, is a situation where the balance of primary sound (teacher voice) to background noice changes... You may have to really fight for this... some SLPs don't test for this yet. But it needs to be ruled on - in or out. If its "in"... then he NEEDS the FM system... full-time, long-term, for all schooling (including after HS). Teachers also need to change their approach... LOTS of interventions and accommodations, but won't get them unless you have diagnosis... [/QUOTE]
