[QUOTE="Snowie, post: 127963, member: 4712"] My 11 yo is currently being tested for ADHD. My 9 yo has Auditory Processing Disorder and he was diagnosed when he was 5-6. He has a slight hearing loss in one ear, not enough to affect his learning. He was diagnosed through the speech therapist, a psychologist and hearing tests combined. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) for him is a learning disorder, not a conduct disorder. Other than the Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), he's a easy child. Having said that, as part of the ADHD testing for difficult child 1, he will have a hearing test and testing for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) too - but that is because his brother has it, not because they suspected it might be a problem. When I was making the appointment for difficult child 1 Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) test, I asked the dr whether I should be able to recognise it considering I already had one with it. She replied that it presented in so many different ways that she couldn't even pick it until all the testing had been completed. difficult child 1 is also a toe walker and has been since he got up off the floor. I did have him at a podiatrist who told me that his calf muscles were shortened (in hindsight, probably from the toe walking) and he was given exercise to lengthen them. Being who he is, he did NO exercises to help himself and ended up with orthotics, which he also rarely wore and so the problem is still a problem. I never realised it was anything more than this until I started reading this board and seeing the toe walking thingy over and over. I'll certainly be mentioning it at our next paed appointment.
