My essential question is: How often are children with Auditory Processing Disorders misdianosed to have a Attention Deficit Disorder?

1. What is Auditory Processing Disorder?

2. What is Attention Deficit Disorder?

3. What is the occurance of APD diagnosis in elementary age children?

4. What is the occurance of ADD dianosis in elemenary age children?

5. What are the most common types of therapy techniques available for ApD?

6. What are the most common types of therapy techniques available for ADD?

7. What do experts think happens to a child w/APD that is treated with an ADD dianosis?

I am beginning to think that it will be difficult to pinpoint how often children with APD are misdiagnosed. Afterall, if there is an occurance of misdiagnosis, there is no way to know for sure because there are probable tons of unidentified cases of misdiagnosis. Therefore, I was wondering if I should change it?

Maybe I could attempt to answer this question: What are the reprecusions of a child with APD being diagnosed with ADD?
