Why Dont They Test Autistic Kids ForCentral Auditory Processing?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Why won't auditory clinics test autistics kids for auditory processing disorder? Our child clearly has it and our speech therapist thinks it would give a great bunch of info for ameliorating his difficulties if we knew more precisely what gets scrambled.

No I talked to the psychologist a few times about literature but she hasn't responded. There is treatment. Not sure what.

Another question is "What is the treatment for CAPD?" I know my son has this but every professional I talk to, doesn't seem to know how to treat that. Are you aware of any good books on the topic?

On the other hand , his CAPD problem is following directions---how complicated is the interaction? How can people with CAPD follow directions?

My oldest (not on the spectrum) did the first part of the CAPD testing and it was lengthy & required a high degree of interaction between her and the audiologist. Unless your child is very high-functioning, I think it might be difficult to get accurate results.
