I am not all the way through the book but it gives some enlightening information about all the possible things that could be going wrong in your childs brain with auditory processing.

Turns out her problem was her hearing all along--- she couldn't process the sounds she was hearing efficiently, so she missed a lot in school and at home. There is little out there on Auditory Processing Disorder--- this book was really helpful in giving an overview of the problem, plus substantial info on specific hearing problems. After years of trying to figure out my daughter's school/behavioral problems, this book was a huge blessing. The result was one frustrated kid who felt bad about herself. Now I can get her the help she actually needs.

I first checked this book out of the library. Once I read it, I knew I needed to have my own copy to use as a reference tool. Although the book is a narrative, it provides good insight into the struggles of finding an accurate diagnosis. It also is a good reminder to listen to your instincts.

Great resource for parents: well--written easy to understand.Great resource for Speech-Language Pathologists, too. Increasing numbers of children are being diagnosed with auditory processing disorders. It is often overlooked as a possible factor for poor performance in the classroom.

Chapters reference the disorder from early childhood to seniors with specific and valuable ways to help the individual with APD be successful. This is an OUTSTANDING book. This book is a must for parents and teachers alike. My son was recently diagnosed with APD and I am doing everything I can to educate myself and learn how to best help him. I read this book cover to cover and found it very informational and presented in a practical, laymens' terms, manner. I cannot praise this book enough. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
