His DP does think part of his issues are APD due to his brain 'differences' that's one reason we're getting the functional MRI to check the mapping of his little brain since some of the 'damage' IS in his speech/language center. Apparently where his brain remaps can give us clues to how he'll do w/speech... ????
About the BAHA I think the Audi is concerned that Adam wouldn't wear it because of his 'behavior issues' and the fact he doesn't like anything on his head for more than a couple seconds... maybe when he's just a little older (and hopefully calmer- although no promises of that) he'd be more tolerant of it... does that make sense?? She said it's something we can talk about in the future... for the next couple of weeks I'm going to let him go HA free, then we'll test him again w/his LEFT aid in- to see if it appears to help at all-- I mean we've already got them (ok they're in repair still :Oops: but you know what I mean) so we'll go that route first, and progress from there...
Experts 'say' they can't diagnosis APD until they're 7-8 and the brain has quit remapping and the kids are more accurate in testing... but they're already considering it for A b/c of the 'damage' (I just hate that word- he's not damaged, he's different ya know?) And I've asked about that for TWO years now-- only to have it swept to the side...
