The ability to process and comprehend.  I have recently tested a 5th grade
girl for APD-she shows significant processing deficits when minimal amounts
of noise are introduced, when speech is mildly muffled and in remembering
directions longer than 2 steps (ex, pick up your shoes and put them away--2
steps).  She is hypothyroid, taking .1 mg daily ("yellow" Synthroid).  Her
last bloodwork was in November at Crippled Children's Hospital.  Her mother
says she can go for a checkup in June if necessary so I need to find
information on the effects, if any, of hypothyroidism on Auditory Processing
skills.  I found 2 short letters from you in the archives, but I need more
information.  Thanks.
Laurie
