WELCOME to my site concerning Auditory Processing and Listening Disorders.  There are a variety of sites dedicated to APD, some by professionals and some by non-professionals.  For the most part they intend to educate or profess a certain orientation to APD.  Some are excellent family support sites. Others are designed to help "sell" something.  Hence, there are biases that may be related to personal experience, a desire for profit, or a professional treatment position.  I have created this site to be as straightforward and unbiased as possible.  I provide some basic facts about APD.  Indeed, although I try to be impartial, my own biases do creep in.  After reviewing all or part of the information at this site you are welcome to call or email me.  I attempt to return my contacts as soon as possible, but I am quite busy so please be patient.
