What's so confusing : central auditory processing disorder vs. dyslexia

Ever since the birth of audiology, around the time of WWII, many advancements and discoveries have been made. After exploring the mechanisms in the auditory system that allow hearing to take place, next came new discoveries of disorders involved in that system. One such disorder, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), takes place in the cerebral part of the auditory system. As with most disorders, CAPDs characteristics share qualities with other disorders. Throughout this paper the comparisons and contrasts between CAPD and dyslexia, another disorder in the cerebral cortex, are explored and identified. The main items explored in this paper are what each disorder is, who they affect and to what degree, where the deficit comes from, and in the end how to help and accommodate for them.
