Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Children with APD often do not recognize subtle differences between sounds in words, even though the sounds themselves are loud and clear.
APD goes by many other names. Sometimes it is referred to as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Other common names are auditory perception problem, auditory comprehension deficit, central auditory dysfunction, central deafness, and so-called "word deafness."
