Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) manifest behaviors strikingly
similar to children with Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). Recent research suggests
that these two disorders are often co-morbid, but can occur independently. The appropriate
management of ADHD and APD is dependent upon a reliable and valid diagnosis using
multiple sources of information and measures. The most effective evidence based approaches
for these two disorders are reviewed with an emphasis on the importance of differential
diagnosis.
