provenance61 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Our DS, 9, just had an auditory processing eval and we recently got report. One question I forgot to ask the audiologist was just so simple--does he have auditory processing issues? We did discuss the specific results, mostly normal but he didn't pass Auditory Continuous Performance Test (raising thumb for target word), or Memory for Sentences (repeating sentences w/o visual cues), or the RAN/RAS (perceiving visual symbol and retrieving name for it accurately and rapidly). Audiologist said sensory issues might well be a large part of it and also recommended ST evalu and language therapy for auditory working memory issues. Therapy to include things like visualization and chunking. Our son has sensory issues already (difficulty w/background noise esp), and does have an ADD diagnosis. Very, very bright but difficulty w focus especially in noisy or large environments like classroom. (Thus the HSing this year). If anyone can help me learn more about this, please, I'd so much appreciate it. Will definitely ask more ?s of audiologist. But I was wondering if these scores on a couple of tests constituted auditory processing issues or not. Just wondering if I'm trying to describe issues to someone new, would I mention auditory processing or not? Thank you so much for any help....

Guest Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hello and welcome to the forums :). I noticed that you have not had any replies and that you are new and figured you might not know this so I thought I would let you know that there is a forum here on the WTM that addresses special needs, which you may find more helpful. I am posting the direct link for you. I would restart a thread there. Just copy/ paste the text from this one so you don't have to retype. Hope you get the answers you are looking for :). http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
