They have APD. APD has been called the auditory equivalent of dyslexia, and its debilitatiting effects cross all ages, genders, and races. APD can cause children to fail in school and adults to suffer socially and in their careers, but until now, there has been little information available. Written by Dr. Teri James Bellis, one of the world's foremost authorities on APD, this is the first book on the subject that is completely accessible to the public. Through helpful checklists and case studies, you'll finally discover the answers you need, as well as proven strategies for living with APD. Comprehensive and powerfully prescriptive, this book contains vital information for anyone who suffers from this serious disorder.

Read More Rating: - Excellent resource for parents!I bought this book because my daughter was diagnosed as probably having Auditory Processing Disorder (she's too young to take the auditory tests yet). We were very worried that she might be on the autism spectrum but she is so social and doesn't do the stereotypical "lining up" or wheel spinning type play and she doesn't do any stims...it turns out that she has APD.
