APD Help
An auditory/language processing disorder is a disruption in the auditory nervous system that interferes with the processing and understanding of sounds, speech and language.

There are a variety of skills beneath the umbrella term of auditory/language processing disorders. One of these skill areas is auditory discrimination which is essentially the ability to hear sounds and sound changes in syllables and words. Those with good discrimination skills are able to hear the word "pop" and recognize there are three sounds in the word, and that the first and third sounds are the same. They know the middle sound is different if the word changes from "pop" to "pup." They are able to repeat the precise sound taken out and the precise sound that replaced it. This skill may also be referred to as phonemic awareness and directly correlates with listening, reading, spelling and communication skills.

There are a number of ways a person can get help addressing APD. Clear Pathways offers therapy and has recently released two e-books that can be tremendously helpful.

Woohoo!! I wanted to share our proud moment with you and thank you again for your wonderful program that has proved to be life changing for our child! Our daughter was awarded the President's Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement at her 5th grade promotion ceremony. I wish you could have seen her expression as her name was called! It is a parenting moment I will remember always and would not have been possible without your program. Thank you again and again and again!
