Auditory Processing Center, Llc

The term “Auditory Processing Disorder” is used by many people in very different ways, and many professionals do not know about APD or have a misunderstanding of what it is. For example, speech language pathologists and psychologists often use tests that incorporate the terms “auditory processing” or “auditory perception” but these tests are actually assessing higher level language processing and are not diagnostic tools for APD. True APD can only be diagnosed or ruled out by an audiologist with specialized training in the evaluation of the central auditory nervous system. APD is treatable, but there is not a one-size-fits-all approach. There are many different types of APD that require different management strategies. Auditory Processing Center was founded to help children struggling academically who may be falling through the cracks due to a listening related learning disability reach their full potential. Alicia Swann, MCD, Educational Audiologist at Auditory Processing Center, LLC, in Clinton Mississippi has over 20 years’ experience in evaluation and treatment of APD. If your child is exhibiting symptoms of APD, feel free to call Auditory Processing Center at 601-488-4189 to discuss your concerns and determine if your child will benefit from an APD evaluation.
