Is there a link between Auditory Processing and Learning Difficulties?
Today it seems that more and more children have learning difficulties, which means they struggle to keep up where they should be progressing with natural ease.Teachers struggle to teach a class when several children with ADHD are making it impossible to concentrate.

One cannot overestimate the relief and joy of the parents who, experiencing stress and distress because of their child’s problems, now find there is a drug-free effective therapy available.

Problems in any of these areas make learning in school very difficult. They may be called “auditory processing problems.” A good foundation for reading, writing, spelling and remembering and the ability to learn easily is available with good auditory processing.
Auditory Processing and Learning Difficulties
That ear function and learning difficulties are in some ways linked, is now proven. To improve the ear’s performance with a therapy capable of such actions, would seem to be an easy and direct way to assist with learning. Music therapy uses music for an emotional impact and differs from Sound therapy which uses specially treated sound to physically improve the working of the ear.
Good auditory processing is essential for successful listening and learning. The ability to translate a stream of vocal speech sounds into words and meaning and then recreate those sounds as speech is auditory processing. To use language successfully, a great deal more than hearing is required.
Re-training the Ear
The child’s ability to learn is dramatically enhanced as Sound Therapy works to retrain the ear-activating and building brain pathways. Thinking and co-ordination are improved in many ways as the connectiions between the two hemispheres of the brain are strengthened. As development in the child’s equilibrium, self-control and self-esteem increases, there is an improvement in behaviour.
