In 2009, a Minnesota teen named Megan Muehlberg (2012 Miss Minnesota Teen Internation 1st Runner Up) worked with former Governor Tim Pawley to make April 4, 2009 a statewide Auditory Processing Disorder Awareness Day.
To follow in her tradition, the APD support groups on Facebook (combined to be over 1000 members), have decided to spread the word internationally and "Break the Silence on this Silent Disorder" by honoring April 4, 2012 as International APD Awareness Day (even if no official has proclaimed it - maybe we can work on getting that recognition next year).
Two amazing teenagers with Auditory Processing Disorder created these images to spread across the internet:
