Book: "When the Brain Can't Hear: Unraveling the Mystery of Auditory Processing Disorder"

Could you imagine being able to hear, but not being able to really hear what was being said to you? People with APD, Auditory Processing Disorder, know exactly what it's like. APD is the brain's inability to process sounds...and it affects a person's ability to listen. There are many people who struggle with APD every day, and many aren't even aware that they have this disorder.

The book, "When the Brain Can't Hear," by Dr. Teri James Bellis, aims to help readers learn more about this puzzling disorder. People of all ages can get APD - children and adults alike. In children, it can be mistaken for hyperactivity and ADHD, and adults may think they are suffering from hearing loss as they grow older. This book explains APD; if you should tested; what you should do if you are diagnosed with APD; and how to live with APD. The book also discusses various treatments for those suffering with APD, and has helpful checklists to help guide you in your quest for answers. The book also lists resources for those looking to find more information and support, and a glossary so you can become familiar with related terms.

My ParenTime highly recommends the book, "When the Brain Can't Hear" - it is an informative and helpful resource for those wanting to learn more about Auditory Processing Disorder. I know I certainly learned a lot :-).
