Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)

Alyson co-founded the first UK organisation supporting people with Auditory Processing Disorder/APD. As well as currently chairing a new organisation (APD Support UK) to campaign for wider recognition and providing a website of the same name and several online APD support groups, she has written a non-fiction book on Auditory Processing Disorder for children, parents and professionals: "Can I Tell You About Auditory Processing Disorder." Her second book about APD will be available for publication on 18th March 2021 and can be pre-ordered: "Auditory Processing Disorder (APD): Identification, Diagnosis and Strategies for Parents and Professionals" based on almost 20 years of experience in this area. In 2016 Alyson also began writing supernatural fiction for adults and "The Marlin Chronicles" was born. "Mother of Marlin" is the first novel in the ongoing series which combines supernatural suspense, mystery, horror, crime and romance, historical facts, tears and laughter, and a touch of fantasy.
