Central Auditory Processing Disorders A Central Audiory Processing disorder can severe limit your child's school performance and his ability to control his behavior at home. Does Your Child Have Tactile Defensiveness? Does your child refuse to touch anything sticky, slimy, or dirty with his hands? Does washing or brushing your child's hair result in a major battle?

The main advantage of stimulants, like Ritalin, is that they help control the child's symptoms so that other interventions will be more effective.

Since medication has its limitations, psychotherapy has been used in addition to medication.
