CAPD

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

I just found out this year that my daughter has a condition called Central Auditory Processing Disorder. I am over my head! Between dealing with the school, my daughter is in Kindergarten, and trying to make them understand that its CAPD and not ADD. Its very frustrating why is there not anyone in a school looking out for the rights of these kids. The administrative powers that be are trying to finish everything before the end of the year. Not real receptive to questions etc. Any idea? feel free to email me

many times CAPD and ADD overlap…I know I have them both as does my daughter…for years we thought it was just CAPD and lo and behold we discovered it was both…I don’t know if you have looked at the signs of CAPD and ADD-inattention and many of them are the same..It is really tough to tease them apart and sometimes you can’t…

What symptoms does your child have..What tests have been done. How did she do on the Continuous performance test? Have you been told about using an auditory trainer?
