#AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER AUTISM CODE#
I don’t want to get into the weeds with it, but SPD does not have an insurance code for billing. SPD is less widely accepted than APD as a separate diagnosis. Yes, there are 8! But APD refers to only the hearing issues. SPD refers to Sensory Processing Disorder. APD is a processing disorder but specific to hearing and processing sounds. APD and BehaviorsĪutism is a processing disorder. While no two people with APD are alike, these individuals may have similar challenges in processing information. Since there are different types of APD, symptoms will vary from child to child. The term APD or Auditory Processing Disorder is used to describe a variety of listening challenges and is growing in commonality and acceptance. Not all experts agree that it’s a disorder on its own, however there is an insurance billing code for it. Plus I have a list of a few dozen IEP Accommodations for APD.ĪPD is still controversial to some, as many new terms for diagnoses can be. I’m going to explain symptoms of APD, who diagnoses and a few IEP goal ideas for Auditory Processing Disorder.
The old term, not often used anymore, is Central Auditory Processing Disorder or CAPD. It is now referred to as APD or Auditory Processing Disorder.
