AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER:
Educating the Teacher

Auditory processing disorder (APD), also known as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), is characterised by children who cannot process what they hear in the same way as other children.

There is a difference in the way their brain recognises and interprets sounds, especially speech.

Some experience in the field of education is required. Also for students and parents interested in working in inclusive educational settings.
