Hearing the Difference - Understanding Auditory Processing
In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of auditory processing—what it is, how it affects learning, and why some students struggle to "hear the difference."

You'll also hear practical examples, including the Weird Word Game, and discover simple yet effective techniques teachers (and even parents!) can use to help children develop strong auditory processing skills. Plus, a little bonus: some unexpected marital advice on listening! Join us for this insightful and engaging conversation, packed with real-life strategies to support struggling learners.
