Children with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) have difficulty understanding instructions and sustaining attention, particularly in the classroom environment where there is frequently competing background noise. The sounds of peers whispering or talking, traffic, as well as children playing outside, are just some of the common classroom distractions that make learning very difficult for these children.
Poor auditory processing can hinder your child social friendships and prevent them from participating fully with their friends.
