With Auditory Processing Disorder, what were your SAT scores?
Auditory Processing Disorder even back then (1988-1989 when I was in high school) was considered a learning disability, so I was able to take the SAT's UNTIMED.
That meant I could take as much time as needed (within reason) to complete my SAT's.
It's important to know that if your child has a learning disability, you can request taking the SAT untimed. It can make an enormous difference in both the test results and your child's confidence level.
I scored a 1200 out of 1600 on the SAT (first time).

As mentioned in the list of signs of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), it's hard to find appreciation in song vocals.

Yes and no.
I took Spanish for 4 years in high school. I was a whiz at memorizing words and sentence creation. On written tests, I could read each question and respond correctly. However, when it came to responding to a question the teacher verbally asked me, I was unsure of what I heard and how to respond. I ended up with a B grade on average.
In college, I took 2 years of Japanese. At the time,
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD or CAPD) affects the way my brain processes auditory information. I do not process the information I hear in the same way as others do, which leads to difficulties in me recognizing and interpreting sounds, especially the sounds composing speech. In layman's terms, what does that mean?I hear perfectly (no hearing loss whatsoever in either ear) and my brain works b
No. I don't.
Here's my problem.
With Auditory Processing Disorder, I find it very difficult to focus on both the on screen action while simultaneously processing everything each character is saying. Plus, there are implications and inferences from what each just character said that I need to process in real-time too. Then, I must process the inferences and implications from on screen images &

It was discovered by accident as I was getting language therapy help for my Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) at Jawanio (in New York). Dr. Bollard was reading instructions from her clip board and slowly lifted it up, placing it in front of her mouth. As soon as she did, I stopped understanding what she was saying. When she lowered the clip bo
