Insane, the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)'s opinion is just that: her opinion. I agree she is not in the position to diagnosis Auditory processing issues.
difficult child will not be able to be tested by a (C)Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) audiologist until he is at least 6 years old.
At least, the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) was smart enough to recognize that certain strategies used with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) kids would be quite effective for him: talk to him face to face, maybe a little slower with very good articulation, reduce surrounding noise, follow through and repeat as necessary.
I still don't understand why we need to repeat things so many times IF his brain processes the auditory info and his cognitive skills are good.
Basically, I take all that with a grain of salt and don't jump to too many conclusions yet.
