APD Awareness Day is coming up, on April 4th!

So, what is APD? APD stands for Auditory Processing Disorder.

The term auditory processing disorder is used to describe a variety of different auditory challenges. APD negatively impact the brain’s interpretation of sounds and speech. Individuals with APD may not perceive speech sounds correctly even when they are loud enough. This difficulty becomes more noticeable in noisy or challenging listening environments or when listening to complex information.

Tomorrow we will talk about the symptoms of APD!
