Some big things at home to help are to make sure he can see your face always when talking to him and that there are no other competing sounds nearby. Speak in phrases with appropriate breaks rather than long sentences. Use picture cards or objects to help communicate. I'll find the link to the ones you can buy to give you an idea, but you can also make your own. Limit his time he has to listen attentively because it will exhaust him, and help him to feel safe in group environments because he probably feels lost and confused. The audiologist should be able to suggest therapies and specialists such as a speech therapist if those are appropriate for him. If he does indeed have APD, he'll probably need accommodations with academics and most likely some sort of reading interventions. For now, work on the above suggestions for home. Also, please check out the Facebook groups for Auditory Processing Disorder Support; they are filled with people with experiences and advice to share. Good luck, Bev :)Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15382237078205477594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723766943773988223.post-80071378112304376732012-06-14T12:58:00.449-07:002012-06-14T12:58:00.449-07:00help me please!

He'll be 5 in september and he only just (a week or so ago) finally understood my question, "What's you're favorite color?" I took a video of myself asking him questions and he had NO idea what I was talking about. He answered "reading" for "who is your best friend?" He doesn't understand me. please help me help my son! What can I do at home? what can I do while i"m waiting to get in to an audiologist. I'm lost and reaching out to people who have walked the path I'm finding myself on. troisiemm@yahoo.comAdihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10391244627830984413noreply@blogger.com
