Are SPD & CAPD the same?
by: Christina

I saw your question concerning your 6 month old child. My son was diagnosed with SPD at the age of 3 and recently tested for CAPD at age 6. Although he was unable to complete the difficult test to be considered diagnosed with CAPD, they do feel that he probably has it. I was told that the both can be related. CAPD doesn't mean your child cannot hear, it is just that his brain has a hard time processing what he hears and may sometimes act as though he doesn't hear you or may not immediately respond to your verbal communication. I was told that age 6 is the youngest age to test for CAPD, but SPD can be recognized very early, usually at age 2 though. It is worth talking to your child's dr. about, esp. with a family history of a processing disorder. Good luck!
