Signs of attention deficit disorder in children
Children with auditory discrimination issues do not always hear sounds in the correct order or as individual units. For example, if they are asked to spell the word "plan" they may write the word "pan", because they heard the "pl" as "p" and did not hear the "l". This can negatively impact spelling skills. It affects reading the same way and children with this issue may sometimes reverse or omit letters.

These types of problems occur with listening as well. As an example, "Go read a book" or "Go read a pook" are the same sentence with one sound change. In this example, one sound changed a meaningful sentence to one that is not meaningful. As a result, children may mishear words which affects their comprehension and understanding while learning. These children are sometimes misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), because their attention skills decrease as listening and processing what they hear is difficult for them.

It is wise to test address whether the cause of your child's lack of attention is actually a symptom of an auditory processing disorder.

Words cannot adequately express our great joy over what you have accomplished with our daughter in 15 weeks time. The results are nothing short of miraculous. She was reading picture books at the second grade level and is now reading chapter books at the fourth grade level. She has made so many academic improvements and her countenance has completely changed. She is now socializing with everyone - adults, teens and small children. She has become outgoing and finally believes she is smart. And best of all ....she is smiling! Janel, thank you for sharing your talents and your beautiful heart with my daughter and our family.
