Behavioral Characteristics of APD & ADHD

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is a specific perceptual dysfunction that it is not due to peripheral hearing loss. It affects development of integrated processes of language (listening and speaking) and literacy (reading and writing). APD can coexist with other disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In cases of co-morbidity, APD & ADHD must be diagnosed fully and accurately & a treatment program must be developed and implemented by a team of professionals to address all significant functional deficits.
