Guidance for Speech-Language Therapists: Recognising Auditory Processing Disorder in Your Clients.

Children who find listening, understanding, or using language difficult often face significant challenges in school and social settings. Two conditions that can underlie these struggles are Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). Although they can appear similar on the surface, they are distinct diagnoses that require different approaches for support and intervention.

In today’s diverse classrooms, teachers strive to meet the needs of every student. Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is one condition that can significantly affect learning, yet often goes unrecognised.

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are two conditions that can significantly affect a person's ability to learn, communicate, and thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) and hearing loss are not simply about what we hear—they are fundamentally about how our brains interpret and make sense of sound.

As parents, you want your children to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. When a child seems to struggle with understanding spoken language or following instructions, it’s natural to wonder why.
