If a child has an Auditory Processing Disorder, could they benefit from a Personal FM System?
Yes, they could. Everyone is different and the severity of disorders will vary. A Personal FM System would allow a child to focus attention on the speaker and reduce the interference of background noise. They are often used in the classroom setting. Much research is still needed to understand APD problems, related disorders, and the best intervention for each child.
