Pls talk about auditory learning disabilities.

I have two family members with it but it is difficult to diagnose and treat. Both family members have advanced college degrees and obviously have learned to cope before being diagnosed but that does not mean life is easy for them, nor those who live with them.

Thanks

I have two questions for your guest.

1. Why do some professionals diagnose symptoms as ADD and do not recognize dyselxia? My son tested and is labeled ADD, but fits discription of dyslexia given moments ago.

2. My son’s greatest difficulty is oral and written information. Getting the knowledge back out of his brain. His comprehension is great, but he has extreme difficulty expressing himself. How can we help him?
