Ordinary people are diagnosed with a learning disorder. Of these people, 41% are children. Of these children, 5% are diagnosed with central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Central auditory processing disorder is a deficit in the mental interpretation of auditory signals, meaning it takes time for the brain to process what a person hears. It's like having a conversation with someone on the phone who keeps losing signal and you only catch a few words of what the other person is saying. When children don't seem to be learning at school, some educators and parents may think the child is just stupid or doesn't want to learn. What they don't realize is that the child has a learning disability. A learning disability can make a person feel like it is taking over their life. But with the right help and hard work, it won't affect their future success. Over the years, doctors have reported that central auditory processing disorder or any other type of learning disability is a type of neurological disorder, that is, a disorder of the nervous system. In comparison, children with learning disabilities may not master the basics of reading, writing, and reasoning or have the ability to organize information as quickly as children without problems. A learning disability affects not only the person diagnosed, but also the people around them. For a parent, the responsibility of raising a disabled child is increased. They have to pay top dollar for tests, special services at school and much more. The history of CAPD dates back to 1954 with Helmer Myklebus' study, “Hearing Disorders in Children.” At the time, research was not as serious as it is today. ...... middle of paper ...... a person with a disability will not be able to receive accommodations at school.
