In this episode of The Development Download, Lisa and Erin dive into the fascinating world of auditory processing — how the brain makes sense of what we hear. They’ll break down what it really means when a child struggles to follow directions, tune out background noise, or respond to verbal information — and why it’s not always about hearing loss.

You’ll learn how auditory processing impacts attention, learning, and communication, and discover practical ways to support kids who may be overwhelmed by sound or miss key information in busy environments.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or therapist, this episode will help you better understand the “why” behind auditory challenges and what you can do to help kids listen, learn, and thrive.

🎙️ Tune in to The Development Download — where we make sense of sensory, one system at a time!
