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.

For many people who have difficulty with listening, learning, development and getting along with others, therapy has been proven to produce some excellent results.
Through therapy sessions with Bounse and the brains incredible neuroplasticity, it is possible to open and develop new pathways within the brain and help people to improve the way they receive and also process information.
The first step in the process with Bounse is an initial complimentary phone consultation with one of our clinicians to learn more about how our process works and how we could potentially help your child.
