Editorial Review: In this landmark book, Dr. Teri James Bellis, one of the world's leading authorities on auditory processing disorder (APD), explains the nature of this devastating condition and provides insightful case studies that illustrate its effect on the lives of its sufferers. Millions of Americans struggle silently with APD. For many of them, holding a simple conversation can be next to impossible. As sound travels through an imperfect auditory pathway, words become jumbled, distorted, and unintelligible. As Dr. Bellis notes, the most profound impact of this highly specific impediment to auditory comprehension may be on the young. Facing a severely reduced ability to read, spell, comprehend, and communicate, children with APD are subject to anxiety, academic failure, and a damaged sense of self. Often, they are misdiagnosed. Discussing the latest and most promising clinical advances and treatment options, and providing a host of proven strategies for coping, Dr. Bellis takes much of the mystery out of APD. If you or anyone you know has difficulty comprehending spoken language, or if your child is struggling in school, this important book may have the answers you need.

Turns out her problem was her hearing all along--- she couldn't process the sounds she was hearing efficiently, so she missed a lot in school and at home. The result was one frustrated kid who felt bad about herself. ... Read More

I first checked this book out of the library. Once I read it, I knew I needed to have my own copy to use as a reference tool. Although the book is a narrative, it provides good insight into the struggles of finding an accurate diagnosis. It also is a good reminder to listen to your instincts.

Great resource for parents: well--written easy to understand.
Great resource for Speech-Language Pathologists, too. Increasing numbers of children are being diagnosed with auditory processing disorders. It is often overlooked as a possible factor for poor performance in the classroom.
