	'''Auditory Processing Disorder''' ('''APD'''), also known as '''Central Auditory Processing Disorder''' ('''CAPD'''), is a complex problem affecting about 5% of school-aged children. These kids can't process what they hear in the same way other kids do because their [[ears]] and [[brain]] don't fully coordinate. Something interferes with the way the brain recognizes and interprets sounds, especially speech.

	Children with APD often do not recognize subtle differences between sounds in words, even when the sounds are loud and clear enough to be heard. They can also find it difficult to tell where sounds are coming from, to make sense of the order of sounds, or to block out competing background noises.
