Why Are Auditory Processing Disorders Hard To Spot?
Does this ever happen to you? You ask your child to do something simple, and he or she says, “huh?”
You might say something like, “Chris, time to get ready for school: go upstairs, get your shoes, grab your homework (we worked really hard on that last night) and shut your window because it looks like rain.”
And your child acts as though he didn’t hear a word.
Often teachers describe a child like this as having poor listening skills because the same thing will happen in class - except that in school the child misses important assignments, fails to follow instructions on tests, or is unable to learn information when it is presented orally.
