Have you ever felt that your kid falls short at
listening? He could hear what you said but didn’t follow it? If this happens often, it could be a sign of Auditory Processing Disorder in your Children.
APD is type of learning disability, which is commonly
overlooked by the parents. The Auditory processing disorder (APD),
also known as central auditory
processing disorder (CAPD), is particularly a hearing
problem.
Kids with this problem can't follow what they hear because
of lack of proper co-ordination between their ears and brain.
Normally the brain processes sounds in fractions of
seconds and seamlessly. In fact, people quickly interpret and respond to what
they hear. But it’s not the case with the kids suffering with APD.
They respond slow or may not answer to question being
asked, they might listen something else, for them there is confusion between
sounds and words The common symptoms seen in kids suffering with APD
usually are as following:
·
It’s not
easy for them to follow spoken directions
·
First
reply to anyone is”What?”
·
Easily distracted,
by any background/loud or sudden noises
·
Difficulty
with listening, reading and spelling
·
Difficulty
in recognizing and interpreting sounds
·
Struggle
with oral study problems
·
Not able
to follow conversations
·
Poor music
understanding
·
Not easy
to learn songs or nursery rhymes
·
Trouble with
memory
As parents you need to
understand that kids with CAPD
have to work harder in comparison to other kids for sustaining normal day to
day life.
It’s better to get proper
medication and get your children one-to-one tutoring, which will really
help him to overcome this problem.
