[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 604278, member: 13003"] Testing for sensory issues is done by an Occupational Therapist (OT) - they test for motor skills, too. Either or both problems often go with being Aspie. AND, the Occupational Therapist (OT) has therapies, interventions and accommodations that work. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) testing... I'm in Canada, and I've been told that how it is done here may not be available there. Here, a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) does a pre-screening - and you have to make sure the pre-screening test used includes these specific areas to test for (our first one didn't). If the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) recommends detailed testing for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), that report goes to the family physician, to provides a referral to a PhD-level audiologist specializing in Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) testing. If you have access to a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), that person should be able to tell you what the testing sequence would be where you live. [/QUOTE]
