An international chat to discuss the issues affecting adults with Auditory Processing Disorder/ APD will be held on Saturday 28 April from 9pm (UK time) till midnight  (approximately).  The chat will be held here: http://client.sigmachat.com/sc.php?id=46104 which is pre-set for you to enter the Adults Chatroom so you only need to enter your username and click the Login button. For those outside the UK, you can check your local time here - it will be the time listed for the city nearest to where you live. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=28&month=4&year=2007&hour=21&min=0&sec=0&p1=136 

Please email Aly (olanys at aol.com) if you have not registered yet for our private chatrooms and wish to do so in order to join our chats (you only need to register once in order to attend any APDUK chat), if you registered and have forgotten your username, have any problem accessing the chatroom or have any questions.

A transcript of the chat will be available to those who attend the chat by request to dolfrog at apduk.org but will only be available to those attending, for reasons of confidentiality. N.B. The information gained from the Adults with APD chat may be used to aid further research to help adults with APD, although always confidentially and with the full consent of the chat attendees.
