Before we zero on and say with an affirmation
that your children has auditory, let us understand what is it?
Auditory Processing Disorder is
When the central nervous system, CNS,
or APD doesn’t function well and thus pave way for a not so healthy
relationship between the nervous system and the ears. This condition leaves a child
helpless. He cannot understand the language or the sound.
APD or
Auditory Processing Disorder causes issues with:
- Understanding
a particular language
- Remembering
the information
- Processing
the conversation
Symptoms of Auditory Processing Disorder in Children
Generally, it comes across as a very chaotic
condition. So, one must look for the following signs before coming to any
conclusion.
- Cannot
differentiate words in a noisy environment.
- Cannot
follow any directions.
- Problem
in making it difficult to separate any sound or speech
- Cannot
read or spell
- Cannot
comprehend any information within a classroom which other children can
easily do.
Well, these symptoms may or may not mean auditory
processing disorder for sure. So, do not conclude by reading the symptoms
mentioned above that child has an auditory processing disorder. The situation
is a little tricky. But these symptoms do throw some light of suspicion. Do not
ignore them.
Seek professional help. They are fully qualified and
can tell you exactly about its status. A group of professionals involved in the
process of APD identification include psychologists, speech language,
pathologists, and teachers.
In Conclusion
Well, it’s only half the purpose solved. Now begins
the most important part – the APD treatment. Remember, different children
respond differently to the treatment. Some are able to overcome it completely;
others may not and live with it all their lives. This depends on how bad APD is
and how quickly you start taking the professional help.
