[senco-forum] Test of Auditory Analysis Skills (very long for me)

It's not about a conspiracy theory - it's the way things work.  You
end up with decades of conflicting 'pure science' research in all
areas of medicine.  Great if you can survive that long. Thank goodness
for the activists and the lay people who are prepared to put time in
to extrapolate it all and translate it for the parents and kids who
are suffering from society's ignorance on a day to day basis.

What a relief for kids and adults to know they're 'normal' rather than
'difficult', to find acceptance for a special need rather than being
seen as a pain in the bum.  And hats off to those activists who are
smart enough to find places where they can work on changing attitudes
where it matters. :-)

It's not just these APD guys - there's so much we don't know we don't
know!!  Take Dysgraphia : how many people understand how it manifests
and what can be done about it?   Or even know what it is!  There is so
much knowledge that doesn't get circulated because it's outside the
mainstream.  It takes time to work through the layers.

Gladwell's The Tipping Point has much to say on this (but not
specifically in relation to education and special needs) but Dyslexia
is a good example - how many people dismissed it just a couple of
decades ago and now some schools test as a matter of course, there are
online training resources for teachers, accessible software, etc
etc...
