child’s point of view.
This book will:
*Explain APD to children.
*Raise a child’s self-esteem.

The Glossary of Terms, Ways You Can Help Your Child at Home and at School and list of Resources in the back of the book provide valuable information for anyone who has APD. This is an excellent book for audiologists, speech therapists and special education teachers to use in their practice as well as to recommend to families affected with APD.
" Children with Auditory Processing Deficits find the world a confusing, challenging place. Although they do not have a 'hearing loss', they often 'mis-hear' and may misinterpret instruction, directions and discussions that they receive auditorily. As a result, this pervasive disorder causes great difficulty for the child in the classroom, the home and in the community.
In I GET IT !! I GET IT !!, Yvonne Capitelli and Loraine Alderman put a human face on this puzzling disorder by viewing it through the eyes of John, a grade school boy who struggles with Auditory Processing every day. With the support of his family and his teacher, John learns how to deal with his disorder. The story enables the reader to better understand the disorder....and offers concrete strategies for the adults in the child's life.
Beyond the John narrative, the book also includes a detailed glossary of related terms and a list of practical modifications and adjustments that parents can make at home to assist the child. This book could be helpful in assisting kids...and parents....to deal more effectively with Auditory Processing Difficulties."

Endorcement by Kathy Garver
Although best remembered for her co-starring role as "Cissy" in the
C.B.S. primetime television hit, "Family Affair", Kathy Garver has also garnered critical acclaim in movies, stage and voice-over animation. Kathy had the following to say about my book……..
Simple to understand, yet not simple minded, I Get It is a bountiful book which explains in clear language and beautiful illustrations what ADP is. Sharing the joy when the the character, John, finally Gets it, is heart warming and reachable for those who live with ADP, which is indeed a family affair. Anecdotes, practical steps and resources combine to create a book the entire family can share and learn by. I heartily recommend this book which will result in all of us listening and hearing more clearly.
