Auditory Processing Disorder - Help?!

[Guest guest]

This is a bit O/T since it's related to my daughter, who doesn't have apraxia,

but hopefully someone here knows something about this...

My daughter was diagnosed with Language Processing Disorder. The speech

therapist tested with the same test (TAPS-3) an audiologist would use, but

" auditory " processing can't be done until age 7, by an audiologist. She scored

pretty low - auditory memory (9%), aud comprehension and sentence memory(both

16%) word/ number memory (both 25%). She did better in phono blending (84%),

Phono segmentation (50%), and word discrimination (95%). I never expected her to

test so poorly, but I knew as I read it that it's accurate.

She'll be in speech therapy until her sessions run out (Aug/ Sept?), and they're

doing some auditory stuff there. The therapist recommended " the listening

program " , which runs about $400. Is that something for home or therapy? (or

both?) Has anyone used it? Does it work? What else can I do? She has an IEP with

a a teacher's aide, front and center seating in the class, and homework written

down every night.

I'm just confused and don't know where to turn. Honestly, I'm throwing myself a

pity party also, at least until I really feel informed and accept this. Right

now, I feel like it's a 'life sentence' for her. I'm sure that (just like

apraxia) with training she will be fine in the long run.

Any info you can give me, especially on " the listening program " would be

wonderful. Thanks in advance!!
