Children with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) may have difficulty understanding spoken language, especially in noisy environments, or distinguishing between similar sounds.
More importantly, they could have difficulty with reading and writing, and may have poor memory and attention skills.
Consequently, APD can have a significant impact on a child’s ability to learn and their social development, but with APD testing, diagnosis and management, many people can manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
At Coastal Audiology we tailor our assessments and treatment based on the individual need of the child.
A series of tests are performed to evaluate your child’s auditory processing abilities and provide an individualised treatment plan.
