Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) and Dore
Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) and Dore
Hi, I have a daughter who has been diagnosed with CAPD and is currently awaiting diagnosis of other learning disorders..Possible ADD.
I was wondering if any one out ther has a similar condition and has used dore and if it helped with the CAPD issues. Just incase you have no actual diagnosis but have experienced the following issues I have cut and pasted the following from http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/medical/ears/central_auditory.html
The five main problem areas that can affect both home and school activities in kids with APD are:
Auditory Figure-Ground Problems: This is when the child can't pay attention when there's noise in the background. Noisy, low-structured classrooms could be very frustrating.
Auditory Memory Problems: This is when the child has difficulty remembering information such as directions, lists, or study materials. It can be immediate (i.e., "I can't remember it now") and/or delayed (i.e., "I can't remember it when I need it for later").
Auditory Discrimination Problems: This is when the child has difficulty hearing the difference between sounds or words that are similar (COAT/BOAT or CH/SH). This problem can affect following directions, reading, spelling, and writing skills, among others.
Auditory Attention Problems: This is when the child can't maintain focus for listening long enough to complete a task or requirement (such as listening to a lecture in school). Although health, motivation, and attitude might also affect attention, among other factors, a child with CAPD cannot (not will not) maintain attention.
Auditory Cohesion Problems: This is when higher-level listening tasks are difficult. Auditory cohesion skills — drawing inferences from conversations, understanding riddles, or comprehending verbal math problems — require heightened auditory processing and language levels. They develop best when all
