[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 612712, member: 13003"] Has he ever been tested for [I]the FULL spectrum of auditory processing disorders?[/I] I'm guessing... not. Unless kids have the classical form of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), which affects language development, it usually gets missed. We had to pay privately for a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) screening... which flagged enough of a problem for the family doctor to refer to the PhD-level audiologist who specializes in APDs. Two forms that are often missed are auditory figure ground and auditory discrimination. Note that the various flavors of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) are not mutually exclusive... they can have more than one form. Auditory figure ground is where the person hears "everything" - has a problem figuring out which sounds are "foreground" and which are "background". SO all they hear is this wall of sound that they get lost in. Auditory discrimination is where the person hears everything "fuzzy". So, similar sounds are hard to distinguish, which makes accuracy difficult in listening. APDs have a HUGE impact on school. For us... the single biggest impact was the Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) diagnosis, and the accommodations and technology that came with it. You won't get either the accommodations or the technology, without a specialist-level diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
