  1. What Can Be Done to Assist Someone with Auditory Processing Disorder? Make sure you have their full attention, they are facing you, and you are in decent light before conversing with the individual with auditory processing disorder (APD). -Use brief phrases, slow your speaking, and give the other person more time to comprehend what you just stated. -Provide information in bite-sized pieces, one at a time. -If necessary, reiterate or rephrase the information. -When feasible, try to communicate in more silent settings to minimise background noise. Turn off the TV, radio, and other loud devices. -A quieter space with softer furniture to muffle extraneous sound will be easier to work in than one with harsh furnishings and an "echoing" environment.

  2. During group dialogues, make an effort to ensure that speakers aim to: -Try not to "overlap" each other's remarks. -Reduce the frequency at which you take turns in talking. -Keep your phrases as brief and uncomplicated as you can. -Understand any challenges the person with APD may be going through. Adapt your communication approach if they seem to be having trouble. Some people find it beneficial to record instructions or information on paper. Especially if the person is dysphasic, suggestions for augmentative and alternative communication techniques to support verbal understanding may be beneficial.
