Several Kansas State University faculty members are helping children
with auditory processing disorder receive better treatment.
Auditory processing disorder affects how the brain processes language. Children and
adults with auditory processing disorder have normal hearing sensitivity and will
pass a hearing test, but their brains do not appropriately process what they hear.
"A lot of therapy targets these skills," Burnett said. "It's almost like relaying
the road in the brain that deals with auditory information. For whatever reason, it
didn't develop properly, so the therapy is about reworking these skills."
