Description
This workshop will focus on the foundations of Auditory Processing Disorder, including the areas of the brain affected and how it’s identified and treated. A common recommendation for APD remediation is music. Speech understanding is very dependent on accurate processing of rhythm and melody of speech and music lessons/therapy can help to enhance those skills.
