APD is a serious underlying cause of learning difficulty in children. It has been poorly-diagnosed for a long period of time and unfortunately it cannot be detected by standard hearing tests.
Because of their difficulties with listening and processing sound, especially in school, these children may have low self esteem, frustration, anxiety, and difficulty with socialising. This may mean children have behaviour problems and struggle to achieve at school.

THE GOOD NEWS
Children diagnosed with APD can be helped to process sounds and listen, which will in turn help them to learn, develop and get along with others.
