My dear friend Lynda Waller whom is also co-author of the book Same Journey Different Paths; Stories of Auditory Processing Disorder, created this fantastic slide presentation for auditory processing disorder (also known as central auditory processing disorder). I hope you find it as beneficial as I do.
This was very timely because I have a CAPD evaluation coming up for my 7-yr old. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'm glad you like it. I'll be sure to tell Lynda; she did a phenomenal job. :)
DeleteWOW, best description and helpful info that I have seen yet! Thanks
ReplyDelete:) Yay! Lynda really appreciates the compliment.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any suggestions to help athletes with APD and coaches? Your slide for classroom support was great but how do you help on the hockey field or the swimming pool?
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of the same principles apply; maybe the coach can use visuals and makes sure the athlete with APD can see his/her face when talking. When the coach is speaking, other noises like teammates talking should be discouraged as well. Time for processing also needs to be allowed whereby the coach lets the athlete have some time to think before responding. I think during the game/meet that hand signals could be very useful - like they use in baseball. For the younger kids in particular, a coach needs to realize that the short term auditory memory is often limited in people with APD and so requiring the athlete to memorize names of positions (as in baseball) or complex verbal instructions is asking too much; it's not that it can't be done, but it might require more time, a kinesthetic or visual approach to learning it (actually going to each position on the field in order to remember the name or doing each step of the verbal direction while memorizing it over and over again in order to get it into the memory via another path other than just auditory). I hope this helps in some way; there really isn't a lot of research or information out there on coaching athletes with APD.
DeleteI love APD! This was a very encouraging and helpful read. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI have long felt a special connection with herbal medicine. First, it's natural, Charlie attended the same small college in Southern California - Claremont Men's College - although he dropped out of school to enroll in the Julliard School of Performing Arts in New York. York. Had he been to Claremont, he would have been senior the year I started there; I often thought that was the reason he was gone when he discovered that I had herpes. So, my life was lonely, all day, I could not stand the pain of the outbreak, and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her two weeks of consumption. I place an order for him and he hands it to my post office, then I pick it up and use it for two weeks. All my wound is completely healed no more epidemic. I tell you honestly that this man is a great man, I trust him Herbal medicine so much that I share this to show my gratitude and also to let sick people know that there is hope with Dr. Itua.
