If you want to carry on a conversation, be in the same room with the same purpose - to talk with each other. Away from home, be aware of the environment. In noisy places, such as a mall, the child may not hear your instructions on where to be at what time. It is better to minimize background noise by moving to a quiet place rather than yelling. Your child may have problems at church and other places of gathering.
Many church schools have hard, reflective walls resulting in reverberations.
The normal auditory system will merge reverberations into a single auditory image. The CAPD child may not be able to do this. The suggestions given above for the classroom will apply to any meeting place. Be aware that your child may not like to go to parities, meetings and other gatherings because they are difficult and frustrating. Avoid subjecting him or her too often to this type of situation.
