Ask Dr. Debby...
Is a Central Auditory Processing Deficit (CAPD) the same as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)?
No, and it is not an easy diagnosis to differentiate between the two. Because so many of the symptoms are similar and affect language, it is difficult to always differentiate true ADHD and CAPD.
Individuals may in fact (have?...suffer from?...face a diagnosis of?...) either CAPD or ADHD, and in some cases both CAPD and ADHD. |
