Parent picks: Great books on central auditory processing disorder
Central auditory processing disorder is a condition that affects how the brain recognizes and interprets sounds, most notably speech. Turn to these books, recommended by a mother of a child with CAPD, for the facts on this complex and hard-to-diagnose disorder.

If there is one book a special ed parent should have, this is it. [The Mislabeled Child] was the reason I figured out our son had auditory processing disorder. This book comprehensively covers the gamut of learning disabilities, discussing how they are assessed, what other disabilities they might look like, as well as providing some ideas for remediation. I wish I had had this at the start of our special ed journey because it would have educated me on what to look for as well as what to ask for in the way of assessments.
