- Impaired memory for nursery rhymes or song lyrics

In this episode Alex and Dr. J., long time colleagues and co-authors on several peer reviewed journal articles on auditory hypersensitivity and treatment explore auditory processing disorders; what happens when the brain doesn’t understand what it hears, and what to do about it. Listen and learn:
- How to differentiate auditory processing, a language disorder, and ADHD
- How APD should be assessed
- Categories of APD and general treatment recommendations
