Central Auditory processing

This is a lesser know learning difference and one that many times goes unnoticed or misdiagnosed. There are several types of Central Auditory Processing and a person can have just one type or a combination of types. People with CAP have perfect hearing, but as sounds travels through the auditory nerves to the brain they get jumbled or dropped. This may effect the way a person comprehends and processes oral language which can have an affect on academics and social interactions. Sounds can also reach the central processing part of the brain at a split second difference. Causing an overlap or dropping of sounds. CAP can be strengthened through specifically tailored curriculum or therapy. I also want to note that Able Kids out of Fort Collins Colorado does an amazing job testing CAPD and when suitable can provide an ear filter that can help the sounds come in at an equal rate. eliminating the overlap or delay of sounds.
