[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 530528, member: 11791"] OK. I don't have time this week to do the research for you, but... I know where the speech teacher is coming from on this... but the speech teacher is still not correct. Here's why... Way back (not THAT long ago), Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) were interchangeable terms, still are. But. The original, classical Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) type of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) was a "verbal language processing disorder". In which case, if you didn't have speech problems, you probably didn't have Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) either. Not necessarily 100% accurate, but in practice, it caught a lot of the kids with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). BUT. There are way more kinds of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) than just the original. So - maybe. Just pulling at straws here. But maybe you could do the research and find out what all the other APDs are (there's 5 or so), along with how they are tested etc., and take THAT back to the table? Auditory figure ground is one of those - which is where all the sounds blend together, and its hard to distinguish the "important" sounds (like teacher's voice) from the background noise. These kids usually don't have speech problems. They work extremely well in testing environments (one-on-one, quiet) and fall apart in the classroom. Often (some research says frequently or usually) display classical ADHD signs in the classroom - not paying attention, fooling around, missing parts of instructions, incomplete work, etc. Unless the speech teacher is specifically aware of these kinds of APDs, there's no way they would have tested for it. There are specific screening tests that SLPs can do, that cover all the bases... I just don't know what those are off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
