Since the time APD symptoms were first articulated, APD has not been properly, nor clearly defined because it is difficult to diagnose. Many researchers have found contradicting information on what defines the disorder. For now, APD is categorized into three types known as: Secondary APD, Acquired APD, and Developmental APD. .

A disorder that causes students to have difficulty understanding what they are hearing in the classroom. . A mother knows when something is wrong with her child. If the problem is physical, she takes the child to a doctor. But if the problem is a misunderstanding of her child\'s mind, where does she turn for help? This is Ben\'s story. He was a happy, healthy boy -- a mother\'s dream come true. Yet by the age of three, Ben\'s development was significantly delayed: He couldn\'t make sense of the simplest phrases, and he still hadn\'t started talking. When Karen Foli finally took her son, Ben, to a speech and hearing clinic, she was told that he was probably retarded and perhaps autistic. But Karen knew that Ben was highly perceptive, even frustrated by his inability to communicate. Trusting her mother\'s intuition, Karen set out on a journey to learn the truth about her son\'s condition....and what she found was APD. A person with auditory processing disorder receives jumbled and distorted sounds. But the ability to hear is usually normal. Even though it affects millions of Americans, APD can be difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat. Through years of research, and personal interviews, Karen Foli learned everything she needed to know about APD in order to help her son achieve the greatest gift of all: communication.
