Types of Processing Disorders

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
Difficulty understanding and using auditory information despite normal hearing. Individuals may struggle to distinguish between similar sounds, follow verbal directions, or process speech in noisy environments.
Visual Processing Disorder (VPD)
