Abstract

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is a neurological condition that affects the processing of auditory information by the brain. It primarily manifests in children and can significantly impact their ability to understand, interpret, and respond to auditory stimuli [1]. Approximately 2-7% of schoolaged children are considered to have Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) worldwide. The studies report that approximately 30-70% of children with APD exhibit reading and language-related difficulties, impacting their communication, academic performance, and overall quality of life [2]. Children with APD often pose unique challenges including understanding speech in noisy environments, processing verbal instructions, struggles with phonics, reading comprehension, poor auditory memory, and a tendency to misunderstand or misinterpret verbal information [5]. To address this issue, we developed an interactive website that offers a variety of memory games specifically designed to enhance auditory processing skills in children. Our website aimed to overcome Auditory Processing Disorder at the early stage [4]. The website incorporates evidence-based techniques and principles of auditory processing intervention. It features a range of captivating visuals, audio cues, and interactive elements to create an immersive and enjoyable learning experience [6]. The games are designed to gradually increase auditory processing which allows children to develop their auditory skills progressively
