Hello- I am in Perth, Western Australia and am a special education teacher with my own tutoring business catering for kids with CAPD. I am studying for Masters and am after recent studies on CAPD. Over here there are no courses on it and it seems lost or more to the point, not found in the educational institutions. I am on my own. I have been gathering my own knowledge for about 5 years with the help of an audiologist. My dream is to make a difference somewhere as well as have someone research my own spelling method. Please if there is someone out there who has a passion for this disorder, please contact me. Or if there is someone who knows where up to date research is please let me know.
Regards to all who read this,

Re: central auditory processing
Hi Elizabeth,
We are seeing a pediatric neuropsychologist who deals with all kinds of learning disorders and also auditory processing, she even offers therapies for it as well. She is well known in the USA and people travel from around the country to see her. She has also been written up in TIME magazine (if you are familiar with that?) Her name is Dr. Valerie Scaramella-Nowinski and she has a team of individual specialist with her as well. Her e-mail address is [email protected]. Hope this is helpful to you. Good luck to you. Wish you were here so we could use your tutoring services and try out your spelling method.
Re: central auditory processing
Elizabeth.,
You need to look at the www.ncapd.org site. Dr J Lucker who created the site in a prime authority in this country on apd. He has live Chats on Tuesday mornings. He is THE Authtority on it.
My son has apd and was dxed and tested by Dr J he is great.

Check out the information in “LD IN Depth” in reading and in processing problems. I find that while lots of the information isn’t expressly about CAPD, it is about things like phonological awareness — and if somebody’s having trouble figuring out the sounds in words, then information pertaining to that is going to pertain to auditory processing, since that’s what figuring out sounds is. So in an indirect way, there’s a lot of information out there.
