Central Auditory Processing Disorder- Private Brooklyn Speech Therapy

Central Auditory Processing Disorder, or CAPD affects about 5% of school-age children. It affects the way their brains process auditory information, even when there is NO hearing difficulty and the sounds are clear. If not treated early on, these children can have speech, language, learning, and other delays. CAPD is independent of attention deficit disorder (ADD or ADHD), but a child can have both disorders. In a recent case, a parent was denied services from their insurance company for this treatable disorder. You can read more about that here. This is a terrible injustice, and unfortunately we are hearing more of these kinds of stories every day.
