Do you know, Aly, this may be a first, but I agree with you!  With the proviso that the initial teaching is with a bons fida, properly taught SP programme, not incomplete phonics mixed with 'look & say'!

Not ALL children with APD have problems with phonics and/or phonological  
processing, but some might have one of these or both, manifesting in differing  
ways and to varying degrees.

I'm glad you said that. It needs to be clearly understood!
