Great for parents, children, relatives and teachers. This book is very helpful with helping all who read it understand what the child is going through there by being better able to help the child. I donated a book to an elementary school.

I just got this in the mail recommended to me in a Facebook APD group I’m in. I’m so happy I got it. It’s perfect to read with my 7.5 year old and it’s even good for older children.

★★★★★ It’s a great resource.
I’m a first grade teacher. I purchased a few I Get It! I Get It! How John Figures It Out books to share with my colleagues. It describes, in story form, the struggles that a student with Auditory Processing Disorder goes through on a daily basis. It also has a Glossary of Terms, Ways You Can Help Your Child at Home and in School, and a Resources page. This is quite helpful for teachers and parents.

Children with Auditory Processing Deficits find the world a confusing, challenging place. Although they do not have a “hearing loss”, they often “mis-hear” and may misinterpret instruction, directions, and discussions that they receive auditorily. As a result, this pervasive disorder causes great difficulty for the child in the classroom, the home, and in the community.
In I GET IT! I GET IT!, Yvonne Capitelli and Loraine Alderman put a human face on this puzzling disorder by viewing it through the eyes of John, a grade school boy who struggles with Auditory Processing every day. With the support of his family and his teacher, John learns how to deal with his disorder. The story enables the reader to better understand the disorder…and offers concrete strategies for the adults in the child’s life.
Beyond the John narrative, the book also includes a detailed glossary of related terms and a list of practical modifications and adjustments that parents can make at home to assist the child. This book will be helpful in assisting kids…and parents…to deal more effectively with Auditory Processing Difficulties.
