Hello,
I am reaching out for some help. My niece was recently dx with Central auditory processing disorder. She was diagnosis by a psychologist at the Dan Marino center here in Weston Florida. She also had an auditory evaluation at Nova which confirmed CAPD. My sister was told her next steps were to get her daughter speech therapy. When she went to her primary doctor he refused to give her an eval for speech. He told her he did not believe it was CAPD and wants her to see a psychologist because he thinks it is all emotional. My sister is at the end of her rope. This provider is making her feel like her daughter is unstable and that she did something wrong. I just need some guidance. OK all things point to the dx of CAPD so what do we do about it. Is is something she will have to live with, does she grow out of it? How can I help my sister and my niece get what she needs. Anyone who has gone through this please help. Thank you.
