Hello everyone, I am looking for some individual, small group, or classroom activities, that will help my APD kids. Hopefully without boring them to death. If you have any suggestions I would be grateful. Thanks
Re: Activities for Auditory Processing Disorder
Oh, good. I’m glad you asked this over here! I was confused about how to answer on the math board!
First of all, many APD kids have poor phonemic awareness and decoding skills. Earobics CD-roms are games that work on auditory skills that will help with phonemic awareness. I am assuming that if these children are diagnosed APD that you have reports which explain their deficits. Some will need an intensive, multi-sensory structured language program to teach reading. Have you had training in one (like Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell, or Phono-Graphix)? Honestly, I’m not too big on activities unless they are part of a purposeful remediation program. Remediating these deficits can be tedious and maybe not always fun, but it must be intensive to do any good.

I used a game with my daughter where one of us closes are eyes and the other quietly moves around the room and makes a noise, we use “sh-sh” then the person with their eyes closed must point to where they think the noise came from.
I don’t remember where I got it from but it was fun and helped.
