Auditory Processing Disorder – Simulator
Research, testing and recognition of Auditory Processing Disorder has resulted in a larger number of students being diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) also sometimes called Central Auditory Processing Disorder. Students with APD have great difficulty in processing and prioritizing the sounds they hear. This in turn can result in a learning disability that often greatly impairs the student’s ability to understand school lessons and to communicate their thoughts, ideas and understanding or the lack of understanding of things.
The following is a video that simulates the way a person with APD hears and interprets a teacher’s lesson in school.
