What exactly do I request for APD eval?

[Guest guest]

School is out for the summer, of course, but in preparation for the Fall I'd

like to write a letter requesting that the school evaluate my six year-old

for auditory processing issues. Is that how I request it, as " evaluate for

auditory processing disorder " or is there other terminology that should be

used? My son is currently diagnosed with pdd-nos and is under the autism

supplement, has a one-on-one aide, and is in a self-contained classroom.

I have mentioned this to the autism counselor in the past and he responded

that " all/most kids with pdd have an APD and that however; I have come

across very little in the way of treatment approaches or methods of

remediation for it. Most individuals with Autism do seem to have problems

with it, though it appears to me to be associated with difficulties that

people with ASD have in discriminating the salient stimuli in most

situations. "

Any suggestions are appreciated.
