The Sound of Hope: Recognizing, Coping with, and Treating Your Child's Auditory Processing Disorder

This book is very well written with lots of practical examples and activities to do with your child. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that as a teacher I was looking for more examples for teachers to use, whereas I felt the book was written more for parents and gave more examples of how to help children at home. I was, however, able to use the information for my personal knowledge.

This is the most wonderful book. It helps me talk meaningfully about the challenges my child faces. I am so grateful for this book. Reading through the information I see my son and feel like now I can do something to help him face his challenges and overcome them... Because I understand CAPD and what his day is like. I can also relate consequences of certain environments to his teachers, coaches, and friends. Thank you for giving me hope. You have no idea how much this book has meant to me and my son.My son won't be 7 for 11 more months... So, there is no formal diagnosis. But, this is the first book I've read that fits. The strategies and information in this book will help him now. The methods are good... For every child. But, for my son knowing how to impact him in a positive way is so critical. This book will help me be my son's Champion... Not his Defender. He can build confidence in his listening skills and ability to communicate. The difference in him has been affirming. He knows that I believe him and I'm starting to understand. I have hope... But, most importantly so does he!!!

As a veteran elementary school principal, I have witnessed the frustration felt by children diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder, their parents' concerns, as well as the helplessness felt by their classroom teachers who have difficulty understanding and addressing the disorder.Lois Heymann's book speaks to these issues in language that is clear and easy to understand. Both she and Rosie provide the reader with information and vignettes built upon first hand experiences and Ms. Heymann's expertise as a higly respected speech pathologist/auditory therapist. The Sound of Hope offers proven strategies to support learning and understanding,advice and suggestions for parents (and educators), as well as a myriad of resources to explore.Ihis book is a welcome addition to my school's professional library.

This book gives a good understanding of what Auditory Processing Disorder is and how it affects a child's learning and interaction with the world around him or her. The examples and ideas for helping these children learn how to listen and understand things, even with APD, provides parents with real hope that these children can and will learn the skill of listening and learning. The book has excellent information and teaching ideas to help all children learn the art of communication.

Since I read this book my son's life change forever and mine too. Lois explains the disorder but goes beyond on multiples examples and very helpful techniques. I have read many books about APD but this one is the best . It open the door to a bright future for my child . I highly recommended.

This book is full of great information for the parent, guardian or teacher of a child struggling with language issues. There were many fun and helpful exercises to do with your child.

i'm only on chapter 4 and already this book has given me so much helpful information. as someone with APD i feel that the book does a great job in explaining what APD is and how parents and children can learn to cope with it together in a positive and supportive way. great book!

I got this book for my daughter in law who is in nurse practitioner school and my granddaughter was showing slight symptoms of an auditory problem. She found this very helpful for understanding the problem and said she will be able to use this as a reference for classes she is taking. All in all a very informative book.
