Auditory Processing Disorder
What?”
One word.
Just one word your child repeats could indicate big trouble—perhaps years of future struggle.
Most likely you know a child who often asks, “What?” But if you notice that they ask it consistently or in what you might think are inappropriate situations (like close one-on-one discussion), your child needs to be checked. The child may have a disorder that is suddenly gaining a lot of attention—central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), more popularly known as APD. If the condition is caught in time, the child can be helped. If not, they could have a world of problems ahead—academic, social, emotional and physical.
