Auditory processing . may be described as the “efficiency and effectiveness by which the central nervous system (CNS) utilizes auditory information.” (ASHA 2005). Like light, sound travels in waves and like vision, in order to hear, we first need to receive the sensory input of the waves and then convert them into neural impulses sent to, and processed by, the brain.

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.
