A child’s primary school is his home and his first teachers are
his parents. Henceforth, parents are advised to be on the child’s side to make
him have the confidence to face the world.
Home care is extremely important in children with auditory processing disorder. One has to be on a child’s side to ensure he is getting
ready. Here is how to go about it.
Have compassion
Love and compassion can fasten healing and instill courage in children with auditory processing disorder. Such children respond slowly. Having
the understanding and patience will help him pick up the loose ends.
Make your child
face you when you are instructing him
Facing in another direction implies that he is distracted towards something
else, probably listening and processing another thing. So make him have his
face towards you and listen with his eyes on you. This ascertains that he
listens carefully and processes it properly.
Short instructions
In children with auditory processing disorder, remembering and
understanding long instructions is difficult. So keep them short and precise. Do
not ask him to do many things; just one single instruction would be sufficient
in his case.
Double check if the child understands
This is vital. You must ensure that
he has understood the thing told by you. Do not lose your cool if he hasn’t.
Ask him again and see to it that he understands it. This is the way to get
things done.
Make a chart
Parents should make a chart of the
activities a child has to undergo in the morning. A pictorial representation of
the activity is even better to make things work. He will find it easier and
work faster.
Summing up
Parents have a key
role to play in auditory processing
disorder in children. Be on his side to make him win.
