Dr. Wisdom received her Doctor of Audiology (Au.D) degree from Gallaudet University where she was drawn to the field of CAPD. Dr. Wisdom’s interest in central auditory processing disorder led her to the University of North Carolina – Greensboro (UNC-G) where she completed her residency year with a focus in CAPD, sound therapies, hearing aids, and tinnitus.

I want to thank the Able Kids Foundation for the filter. It is creating a new world for my daughter. She still has to work at it but she’s taking speech this semester and I can’t believe she’s speaking in front of people. Even though she’s only had it for a short time, it’s been so helpful. It’s helped her but also it has helped us as a family.
We would never tell a blind student to go home every day and try harder to read a book, just as we should not tell an individual with CAPD to try harder to listen and focus during their day.
