Auditory Processing Disorder Therapy
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 variety of ways to address an auditory processing disorder, including therapy. Clear Pathways is proud to offer two e-books that are designed to help. Be sure to check the links below for more information.

Thank you so much!! My son went from hitting himself for being stupid in the 6th grade two years ago after doing poorly on a spelling test, to becoming a straight A student who attends to his homework and responsibilities at home happily (most of the time) his fall term of 8th grade. My son's future has never looked brighter!!
