The Impact of Auditory Processing Disorder on Speech and Language Development

Speech and Language Effects of Auditory Processing Disorder APD is one underlying condition that has been linked to speech and language issues. We all know how crucial hearing is to learning, which is why APD is a listening problem. 

Poor auditory discrimination: Even when words are delivered loudly and clearly, people with APD frequently struggle to distinguish between different sounds in words. Worse, when there is too much background noise, such as from a playground, a party, or TV in the background, or when they are agitated or depressed, the struggle worsens. 

Poor auditory memory: APD in adults or toddlers impairs verbal information's passage to the brain due to poor auditory memory. 

Thus, memory offers very little in terms of practical expression and communication. Because of this, individuals would take a long time to write or speak out answers to exam questions. 

In addition to understanding and memory, those who suffer from auditory processing disorder frequently struggle with: 

-articulating thoughts and feelings

 -obeying complex and straightforward instructions 

-Skills with reading (such as stuttering and hesitant reading) 

-Planning and organising -following the conversation's strands 

-keeping in mind what has been said
