Excellent book!, 2008-11-12
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.

This is an OUTSTANDING book! 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. Chapters reference the disorder from early childhood to seniors with specific and valuable ways to help the individual with APD be successful. This book is a must for parents and teachers alike! I cannot praise this book enough! I'd give it 6 stars if I could!
Must-read book for anyone with APD, 2007-11-25
Do yourself and your loved one a favor: become knowledgeable about the full implications of life with an auditory processing disorder. This well-written, approachable book is an outstanding reference for parents and teachers who must live with, work with, and advocate for, children and adults who struggle with receiving information from the world around them.
BEST BOOK ON AUDITORY PROCESSING FOR PARENTS, 2007-10-14
I love this book as even the title has been very helpful in explaining the unique challenges that face my son to family and teachers.
Information about Auditory Processing Disorder is not wisely available. What is out there is brief, repetitive and minimal. I find lot of textbooks at a cost $100+/- but this is the only lay person book I have found that does the subject juctice.
Even Speech Lanuage Therapist do not have a good undertanding of this disorder unless they specialize in it. We wasted 9 months with a SPT-CCC who thought she know how to treat it - but really didn't. She just used a mixture of Language Processing techniques with poor results.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. I have read it several times and keep learning from it.
If you looking for information about Auditory Processing Disorder - someone you love must be suffering from it and for that I am so very sorry. As a mother of a son with it life is challeging for our whole family, but especially him. Finally, realizing what was "wrong" has helped a lot. I am relieved that he isn't incorrigible, but that there is a medical explaination.
