Private School For Auditory Processing Disorder

Educators at The Roig Academy, your Miami private school, have a thorough understanding of the learning differences that each of its students may be diagnosed with.

What is Auditory Processing Disorder?

Also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder, this is a condition that adversely affects how sound that travels unimpeded through the ear is processed or interpreted by the brain. Individuals with APD 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. This can make it difficult for students with APD to succeed in a standard classroom setting. At The Roig Academy, our staff understand the importance of meeting the needs of each and every student, including those who experience learning differences. Our private school in Miami is a great resource to turn to if your child has been diagnosed with APD.
