	Psychosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word was used to distinguish disorders which were thought to be disorders of the mind, as opposed to neurosis, which was thought to stem from a disorder of the nervous system.
		Formal thought disorder describes an underlying disturbance to conscious thought and is classified largely by its effects on speech and writing.
		The division of the major psychoses into manic depressive insanity (now called bipolar disorder) and dementia praecox (now called schizophrenia) was made by Emil Kraepelin, who attempted to create a synthesis of the various mental disorders identified by 19th century psychiatrists, by grouping diseases together based on classification of common symptoms.

	Learning disability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It just means this individual has an impairment to their ability due to a processing disorder, such as auditory processing or visual processing, that is detrimental to normal teaching methods.
		.[a] disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using spoken or written language, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations.
		Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often studied in connection with learning disabilities, but it is not actually included in the standard definitions of learning disabilities.

	Redefining Auditory Processing Disorder
		According to the 1996 ASHA technical report on APD, the disorder is characterized by poor performance in one or more basic auditory behaviors or skills, including sound localization and lateralization, auditory performance with competing or degraded acoustic signals, auditory discrimination, auditory pattern recognition, and temporal aspects of audition.
		At the same time, awareness of APD is steadily increasing among the lay population and those in other disciplines, and audiologists and speech-language pathologists are being called upon more and more frequently to address the disorder in their practices.
		Further, because APD is a heterogeneous disorder that impacts different people in different ways, the selection of diagnostic test battery components must be individualized and appropriate for the child or adult in question.

	What is a Speech Disorder?
		Although most listeners tolerate speech disorders, individuals with speech problems typically do not like the fact that attention is drawn to their speech and may wish to obtain help from the speech therapists at the Center for Speech, Language, and Occupational Therapy, Inc..
		An individual with auditory perceptual problems may not be able to hear the differences between speech sounds or may have difficulty sequencing the sounds he hears.
		Severe receptive language disorders such as the inability to process the speech sounds which comprise rapid speech, stand in contrast on the continuum to the individual, for example, with a mild hearing loss.

	Auditory Discrimination Test - Definition, Purpose, Description, Risks, Normal results, Parental concerns
		Auditory discrimination is a central auditory processing skill that involves the ability to differentiate among phonemes—the smallest significant units of sound in a language.
		Auditory discrimination tests (ADTs) are one type of auditory analysis tests, which are used to measure how well a child understands speech and the spoken word.
		Auditory discrimination is one component of central auditory processing skills or auditory perception.

		APD is a condition in which patients have difficulty cognitively processing sounds, language and/or phonemes (each type of speech sound).
		As the disorder becomes more and more talked about, parents are beginning to speak with each other, mostly on APD listserves, about similarities in their kids: OCD, ADD, early hospitalizations, a cousin with autism (some experts have suggested that APD is part of the autism spectrum).
		Her parents, now active in APD matters, have spoken to many parents across the country whose children have had identical experiences: being misdiagnosed by school speech therapists and denied services by school districts, and falling down in all aspects of their lives.

	Autism Today, latest news and resources for autism and autism related issues
		Apart from deafness and partial hearing loss there are several less well known auditory problems found both in the general population and, to a greater extent, in people with dyslexia and autism.
		Auditory Integration Training (AIT) was developed by Dr. Bérard who used it to treat people who had a wide range of difficulties, including depression, dyslexia, learning difficulties and autism; the common link being some type of hearing anomaly.
		The recognition of this type of visual perceptual problem amongst some people with autism and Asperger's syndrome is an exciting development and the preliminary results offer the hope that some of the most devastating consequences of these can at least, be overcome.

	Information on hearing disorders and auditory processing in children at MedicineNet.com
		The "disorder" part of auditory processing disorder means that something is adversely affecting the processing or interpretation of the information.
		Children with APD often do not recognize subtle differences between sounds in words, even though the sounds themselves are loud and clear.
		In children, auditory processing difficulty may be associated with conditions such as dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, autism, autism spectrum disorder, specific language impairment, pervasive developmental disorder, or developmental delay.

	SLLS Referrals: Auditory Processing Disorder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Other definitions were restricted to problems with auditory perceptual skills such as temporal distinction of stress, prosody, and rate, poor auditory distinction of phonemes, poor retention and synthesis of auditory stimuli.
		Therefore, children with auditory perceptual processing disorders may demonstrate problems with sound localization, auditory discrimination, pattern recognition, rapid phoneme distinction (sounds within words), temporal processing (rate and intonation), competing or degraded (weaker) signals and sustained attention to someone speaking.
		These are not necessarily diagnostic tools for APD but can further delineate auditory perception issues as a contributing factor to the referral concerns as well as form the basis for helpful intervention suggestions for the patient.

	DL TETER OF DENVER - hearing aids, speech disorder assistance for Denver, Colorado
		The eitiology of voice disorders can be related to disease, mis-use, trauma, neurological problems and one's psychological state.
		A normally functioning auditory system changes sound waves into mechanical energy then changes the signal into electrical nerve stimulation which is then sent along a neural pathway to various parts of the brain to be interpreted into recognizable noises, sounds, and words.
		In fact it is now considered a spectrum disorder meaning that there is a range of severity from mild to severe.

	Central Auditory Processing Disorders
		The prevalence of CAPD in children is estimated to be between 2 and 3% (Chermak and Musiek, 1997), with it being twice as prevalent in males.
		Definitive diagnosis of a central auditory disorder cannot be made until specialized auditory testing is completed and other etiologies have been ruled out.
		If the auditory deficits are not identified early and managed appropriately, many of these children will experience speech and language delays, academic failure and/or underachievement, loss of self-esteem, and social and emotional problems.

	Auditory processing disorder, central auditoy processing disorder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In children, auditory processing problems may be identified by speech and language problems, sensitivity to sounds, poor attention, difficulty following directions, difficulty expressing oneself, difficulty with listening comprehension as well as reading comprehension, difficulty with social interactions, or auditory self-stimulation, such as constant humming or self-talk.
		He showed that our auditory nerve is fundamental to human neurology; it helps to regulate not only balance and spatial orientation, but also even vision and our tactile senses.
		Whatever the reasons for auditory processing deficits: ear infections, brain injury, genetic factors, etc., if there is a time during critical developmental stages when the auditory stimuli doesn't come in or can't come in, the brain cells that normally process hearing do not learn how to do so.
