Dear Joanna,
I have never heard about the condition you mention. Are you sure it's correct? If your daughter displays a central auditory processing disorder, it means that her brain is hampered in the capacity to understand spoken language. Without doubt, when children have a deficiency in one area of functioning, they compensate in other areas. Thus, physical gestures and facial cues assume a good deal of importance when a child runs into obstacles in their processing of spoken language.
