[senit] auditory processing disorder

Units of Sound is UK - mainstay of Dyslexia Action (Dyslexia Institute
as was)
Have you looked at Lexion? Screening then suggestions for activities and
develeoped by Speech and Lanaguage Therapy Teachers in Sweden, so big
emphasis on language disorders

Has anyone got any good or bad results to report from use of any of 
the software packages supposedly improving language and literacy, eg.
FastForWord (USA);
Units of Sound (USA)
  Earobics (USA);
Dichonics CAPD software (USA);
Propeller React 2 (UK) ;
Phoneme Factory Sound Sorter (UK)  ;
Phonomena (UK)
or any views or comments in general?

I am working with children with VERY severe dyspraxia  - virtually no 
speech - and essentially no reading, along with complex auditory 
processing difficulties and expressive language (single key word sign 
or symbol level). Has anyone found useful sections in such software 
for this level of child?
Thanks
Sally
