Dyslexia, Auditory Processing DisorderAbstract
An estimated 10 million students in the United States have dyslexia and of those students, 2.5 million are estimated to have auditory processing disorder. There is an ongoing debate on whether auditory processing disorder causes or contributes to dyslexia or the disorders are just co-morbid. This paper examines dyslexia and auditory processing disorder and then considers current research on the nature of the relationship between the two disorders.
