Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 196: Understanding Auditory Processing Disorders with Dr. Donna Geffner · 17 Feb 2020 podcast
They don't hear it clearly.
They do ask a lot of what's.
They use IQs to figure out what was being said.
And if they're in an environment where it's noisy, it will only exacerbate the situation.
It becomes difficult.
And these are youngsters who definitely must be accommodated for and
and not be placed in a noisy area, certainly away from doors and windows where there's distractions and sounds.
But these youngsters will quickly turn to where the outside noise is.
They're distracted by other sounds.
They often will have difficulty locating where a sound may be coming from, which is localization.
They might have difficulty processing something very spoken quickly.
And I'll often ask a parent, do you find yourself slowing down when you speak to your child?
And the answer is yes, because they realize if they speak more slowly, they will be understood better.
And yes, these are children, many of whom have what we call temporal disabilities.
uh processing problems they don't hear it fast enough they don't get the message quick enough and so there's a delay in responding and many of them will say wait what or what wait because really they need that extra few seconds to process what they just heard
Well, in many cases, when a youngster can't keep up with his same age peers, and we see an overflow from auditory processing problems into some language difficulties.
These are kids who don't pick up nuances.
because they don't necessarily hear the toning of the voice that conveys that information.
They don't pick up on duration characteristics that give information pertaining to a non-verbal message.
They might not get non-literal language.
