National Coalition of Auditory Processing DisordersAPD Stories
- Megan Muehlberg has been named Teen Volunteer of 2011/2012 for helping spread the word for the NCAPD and for speaking to parents, teens, teachers and doctors about the diagnosis and treatment of the learning disorder. For information on speaking with Megan from a teen's perspective, see the bottom of this page.
Megan was diagnosed with APD in the second grade. She is now a tenth grade student in a very large public school. She is an ambassador trying to educate people on what APD is, how to diagnose, early intervention and how to treat. She worked with former-Governor Tim Pawlenty to have April 4th Minnesota's APD Awareness Day.
Megan asked for another Auditory Processing Disorder Awareness proclamation; only this time it was for the month of October. She worked again with former Governor Tim Pawlenty in the state of Minnesota to get this recognition. An article was written in Access Press, a Minnesota Disability Community newspaper in November of 2010.
If you have any questions from a teens perspective on APD, please contact Megan by emailing her at APDAwareness@gmail.com.
