Auditory Processing disorder
How is it diagnosed?
It is thought that up to 5 per cent of children may have some level of APD. There are a number of tests to diagnose APD, including hearing and listening tests. Currently tests are available to children at least six years of age in a small number of specialist centres across the country. If there are suspicions of a language disorder or cognitive difficulty, these should be assessed before starting on an APD assessment.
