What Is An Auditory Processing Disorder?
Auditory processing describes how our brains perceive sound. It is how our brain recognize and interpret the sounds around us.
Children with auditory processing disorders are not able to recognize subtle differences between sounds in words even though the sounds are loud and clear.
Auditory Processing Disorder is also called "APD".
