🧠APD, also known as central auditory processing disorder, isn’t hearing loss or a learning disorder. It means your brain doesn’t “hear” sounds in the usual way. It’s not a problem with understanding meaning.
🙃People with auditory processing disorder (APD) have a hard time hearing small sound differences in words.
🤨Someone says, “Please raise your hand,” and you hear something like “Please haze your plan.”
😣You tell your child, “Look at the cows over there,” and they may hear, “Look at the clown on the chair.”
😮APD can affect the way your child speaks as well as their ability to read, write, and spell. They may drop the ends of words or mix up similar sounds.
