What Causes Auditory Processing Disorder?
At this time it is unknown what causes auditory
processing disorder, but there is evidence that links
head trauma and chronic ear infections as some of
the causes. Since there are a lot of potential
possibilities, every child needs to be assessed
separately.
Getting a Diagnosis for an Auditory Processing Disorder
Audiologists are able to determine if a child is dealing with APD. Even
though language pathologists are able to get an understanding through
interaction with the child, only an audiologist will be able to perform the
testing to determine if in fact there is a problem.
There are some skills that will need to be evaluated which do not develop
until a child reaches seven years of age. Younger children do not have a
brain that is developed enough to be able to process large amounts of
information. Many children who are diagnosed with APD are able to develop
the enhanced skills over time.
Once your child is diagnosed with auditory processing disorder they will
normally begin working with speech therapists. Your audiologist will be able
to recommend how often they are going to need to return for follow-up
evaluations.
