What is Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)?
What dyslexia is to the eyes, CAPD is to the ears.
Central Auditory Processing Disorder affects how the brain interprets sound and speech, impacting communication, learning, and daily life for many children and families.
Understanding CAPD is the first step toward improving lives through research and scientific advancement.
