Any place that will test for Auditory Processing in a 4 year old?
My ds dev ped had mentioned a doctor or audiologist that believed in testing younger instead of waiting til 6 or 7 but I cant find the name.
Has anyone taking their LO to be tested this young? If so where and what kinds of therapy did they receive?

There are no tests normed for that age- the youngest age is 5.

I'm under the impression that the particular dr the dev ped spoke of developed their own test or screening tools?

Dr Donna Geffner is an expert in APD, but at age 4, I don't think they will be able to diagnose. Language processing and auditory processing goals can be part of speech therapy.
The testing should always be done by an audiologist who has a great understanding in APD (not all do).
I know when it comes to schools the age is 7 that a child can get an APD eval.

Dr. Geffner does have a screening test that starts at 3.5yo - 6 years 11 months

That is not a diagnostic test- it identifies children who are "at risk" for auditory and phonological processing issues. It cannot be used to formally make a diagnosis.
