Auditory processing is a term used to describe what happens when your brain recognizes and interprets the sounds around you. The "disorder" part of auditory processing disorder means that something is adversely affecting the processing or interpretation of the information. Children with APD often do not recognize subtle differences between sounds in words, even though the sounds themselves are loud and clear. For example, the request "Tell me how a chair and a couch are alike" may sound to a child with APD like "Tell me how a couch and a chair are alike." It can even be understood by ...(Answered by Advocate4kids)

I have 2 children w/ Sensorineural hearing loss. They both wear hearing aids. It is kind of a misnomer (named wrong) because it isn't acutally a loss, they never had it to begin with. Most likely something they were born with, something in their ears never developed correctly....(Answered by blackmojo)

My child has an IEP for speech. The school wants to give her a 504 plan instead.? We think she has an auditory processing disorder but it hasn't been diagnosed. Should I keep her IEP so she is still a special education student? ... (Asked by pumpkin)

Do NOT get a 504! That document does not provide any services, all it does is set up a system in which she will not have her civil rights violated, it's good for kids with allergies or other medical conditions that affect their physical ability to attend and interact within the school building. It has nothing to do with speech. An IEP actually sets up legal documentation of her needs and the services that the school will provide to meet those needs. It also mandates reasonable goals and sets who is in charge of each of those goals so that ...(Answered by )

A transmitter is what the teacher wears. The student wears the headphones, which is the reciever. From what I understand about your question, you are asking about what the child wears. Auditory Processing Disorders are a very new area of audiology, and very contraversial. While an FM system can be very helpful, the standard thing to do for a child with this is to have them wear hearing aids or a cochlear implant. FM systems used with hearing aids and cochlear implants are much less conspicious than a pair of headphones. If this child has been properly diagnosed, it was ...(Answered by queenrakle)

How old is your son. Can he obtain this therapy through his school or through health care coverage. Or perhaps a program for children with special needs.

Hi, I'm an Audiologist Here in the U.S., the term Dyslexia is commonly used for Visual Processing Disorders, although its actual definition is more vague. Auditory Processing Disorder relates to how effectively and efficiently the brain is able to use auditory information, especially that which contains language. There are many batteries of tests that help determine the specific weaknesses and strengths of the child's Central Auditory Nervous System. A comprehensive Audiological evaluation is performed first, to ensure that hearing acuity is within normal limits. After all, if the nervous system is receiving impaired information, it is already at a ...(Answered by HearKat)
