What else is out there besides for the basic therapy dd is receiving in school? I would love to help her so she can grow and be able to learn/function properly.
Would also love to hear from ima's that have an older child with this disorder how it was going through school ...
Im just feeling so lost now.

We have two children with it, 9 and 4 year olds.
Both are in auditory/ language based schools.
My 9 year old was in a main stream school through second grade and didn't learn anything..
I definitely believe in sending children to schools where they can learn.. it is amazing to watch them be able to learn in the right environment.

Thanks for taking time to respond. So she is in a special ed type of school and very much getting alot of 1:1.
Is there any additional therapy/help I can do in addition?

I just follow their teachers leads, you are probably in touch with the teachers and therapists.
They can guide you the best,
I hope to mainstream my kids but at the same time not rush the process.

I guess so. Was wondering if theres anything more or its just keep doing what were doing type of thing. Cuz really wanna give her the most possible so help "speed up" ( not the best term to use I know it happens slowly). I just feel like progress has been a bit slower and I think she can be pushed a bit more...its a new year and hopefully it will be a good one iyh.

I don't know if this is applicable, but I have a niece on the autistic spectrum whose auditory processing is affected. This year she has a device that she says really helps her in class. From my very vague understanding, I believe it's like an earpiece and the teacher has a mic or something clipped to them, so what the teacher is saying goes directly to her ear and she's not as distracted by external stimuli. Maybe you can look into something like that, so that even while your child learns how to manage their auditory processing, they won't be as challenged when learning other stuff?
Google around for something like this:

Can you give me more info on both of them? What do they do? Is it like an alternative med type of thing? How many visits does it entail?

Sure.
Both are working on the issue and not just a band aid.
Dr Alexander helps with focusing and concentration. Worked amazing.
And bracha is working on the issue and root of the issue.
I'm not using my sn since I sent so many people to her already...
She's amazing beyond.

Approximately how many times did you see each of them, since you said dr Alexander is in london-how many times did you travel there? Also were you seeing both at the same time?

OP there are a ton of low cost/free apps and software programs you can do at home.
Ask your DD's speech language pathologist for recommendations.
If you are in NY ,the guru in NY for CAPD is Dr. Donna Geffner.

My 13 year old has an auditory processing disorder. BH, we had her evaluated when she was 4 and she received one on one reading assistance through the board of ed, speech therapy and that was it. We worked nightly at home on her work and spent a lot of personal time reinforcing what the class was learning and helping her understand. Over time, as she matured, she caught up. When she developed coping mechanisms, she began to excel. For example, since she couldn't process what the teacher was teaching during class, she would take notes verbatim and come home to digest it with me. I would essentially re-teach her class to her in a way she could process and then she would get the material. On tests, she did okay as long as the questions weren't verbal. Now, she's in 8th grade and top of her class. She brings home high 90's on everything and it's wonderful to see. Over time, she learned to work within her disorder and adapt accordingly. When she was younger, she struggled to learn what everyone else just picked up. Now, she's doing beautifully. We didn't spend for crazy programs or specialists. We just worked with her, her teachers and the school to make sure we could maintain her class level and in some cases, pre-teach her classes so her confidence wasn't impacted.

How did you a diagnose at age 4. My daughter is now 7 and last year we had a very thorough evaluation done in the tune of thousands of dollars by a neuropsych and he diagnosed her with ADHD and a learning disability. A general one. BH all the underlying things are normal but she definitely has a some learning issues. He also mentioned that he suspects an auditory processing disorder as well but at 6 its too young to properly diagnose that. I mentioned to him that my sister has one and he said it makes sense - there is definitely some genetics involved. My sister is now 21 and she had top grades in school. My mom always spoke to the teachers in advance to keep in front of the room and please use the board a lot instead of just talking because she need visuals. She is a smart girl who just learned visually as opposed to listening and she never had any special ed help at all. We medicated my daughter for the ADHD and we were told she 100% percent belongs in a mainstream school with special ed support. She is by no means grade level academically but is doing fabulously socially and making improvements academically as well. I hope this auditory processing disorder just stays in the rear view mirror and the special ed help she gets will cover everything. Do these disorders get better or worse as the children get older?

We knew something was wrong by 3. She couldn't follow simple auditory instructions. By 4, we took her to a place in Boro Park that did a full evaluation and they said it seems auditory in nature and like a processing disorder. Given her behavior, it made total sense. We were also told that at 4, it's hard to be sure but the signs were pretty clear. We learned more about the disorder and met a few adults with it. From that, it appears that the disorder does actually get better because as the child matures, so too do his/her coping mechanisms and ability to adapt to life. BH, seems true for my daughter so far.
