When the Brain Can't Hear: Unraveling the Mystery of Auditory Processing Disorder

It was really helpful reading this book. I recognised a lot of signs and symptoms of APD in my own daughter. I bought the book and read it in 2019 after it was recommended to read it by a fan, Shirley and Sophie. It helped me understand the condition a little more. I just wished it was easier to get a diagnosis in the UK. I was told by the NHS in 2013 that there wasn't a specific test in this country. I later found a Facebook support group and found out there was a testing centre in London. I think there needs to be more support from the NHS to help people with this condition. Nobody seems to understand it, including schools. Thank you Terri Francis for helping me understand my daughter and her condition!

As a SEN parent who has been looked at as if they are an idiot and as if they are talking rubbish, but then proven to be in the right eg child(ren) diagnosed, to be able to find/read/recommend decent reading material is a blessing and essential because with something like APD, it’s not taught well or even at all. Nor is it supported.Is this book value for money? If you or your child etc have a hearing problem such as this, it’s worth every penny.

This book has given me a very important insight into auditory processing disorder.

A useful resource.

Only halfway through. Very good at helping with understanding but, to me, not enough solution conscious.
