Hi everyone   So glad to find this message board hoping it will be helpful in helping my son.  My son Stephen is 10 and was just dx with CADP.  I felt it was there for a few years and now feel a sense a relief ot know it is confirmed.  Had none the less but now that we know we can move forward to get him the help he needs.  Sadly I am not new to support boards   My youngest is almost 3 and has autism ~ high functioning (also has CAPD) and oral dyspraxia and my oldest who is 14 has chairi 1 malformation, ehlers danlos syndrome and single right coronary artery.  All three have their share of medical issues.  My son just dx also has post concussion syndrome too we believe. (the CAPD was there long before)

Our school district does acknowledge it thankfully so we are expecting he will get an IEP or 504 to help him.  I was talking to my ASD sons speech therapist today and she asked me which type of CAPD specifically does he struggle with.  She read his report and said it sounded as if it was in all areas.  I will copy some of it and add it to see what your thoughts are.  Audiologist is recommending FM system as well as imporoved communication strategies to optimize learning.

Report says:  "SSW revealed difficulty on all four conditions.  Right non competing, right competing, left competing and left non competing.  He also scored outside the normal limits for his age for the total number of errors.  The high number of right competing condition errors is consistant with a decoding processing pattern (poor processing at the phonetic level). A high number of left competing condition errors along with a low/high ear effect are consistant with a tolerance faging memory pattern (difficulty blocking out background interference, as well as poor short-term auditory memory.  A Type A pattern was also revealed which is consistant with an integration processing pattern (often asociated with poor auditory/visual intergration and large delays in responding) Stephen also perfomed below normal on the speech in noise test in both right and left ear condition, which again suggests difficulty blocking out background noise.  Stephen deomonstrated no difficulty when compared with the normative dara onthe phonemic synthesis test." 

Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.  My big question is, in reading his report in your opinion would you consider this mild moderate or severe?

Thanks so much all! Robin ~
