[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - she said auditory processing. Of course, I want to know if it is indeed a concern and will ask our dev ped. What kind of therapy would we do for that?[/quote]

I'd read up on some signs of APD:

More than likely if your kid matches some of these traits, it might be just developmentally where he is, or could be related to receptive speech delays, processing delays, ADHD, executive functioning issues.  If you've already been assessed by a developmental pediatrician they've probably flagged some of these areas.  I think APD is out of the DSM now, and you'll get diagnoses under disorder of written expression, disorder of specific learning disorder, language impairment, or specific language impairment:

In terms of therapy, it really depends on what the diagnosis is.[/quote]
