Auditory Processing Disorder occurs when the brain struggles to interpret and understand auditory information, often impacting school-age children and teens. This can lead to difficulties in following instructions, mishearing information, struggling with tasks in noisy environments, and disengaging in the classroom. An auditory processing assessment helps parents, educators, and health professionals understand these challenges and provides strategies to support the student. The process begins with a hearing test (eligible for a Medicare rebate with a doctor’s referral) to rule out hearing loss, followed by a 90-minute assessment, culminating in a detailed report.
