Sinossi

Follow Alex’s journey with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) and learn how he thrives with the right support using simple, effective strategies.

This heart-warming, beautifully illustrated children’s book—created in collaboration with Dr. Angela Alexander and illustrated by Bridget Acreman—introduces young readers to APD, a neurological condition where the brain has difficulty interpreting sounds, especially speech.

Through Alex’s experiences, children learn that everyday challenges can be overcome with support and creativity.

Written in clear, child-friendly language, Tuning in to Alex helps children with auditory or sensory processing difficulty feel understood and empowered.

It also guides parents, caregivers, educators, and peers in creating a calm and more inclusive, empathetic environment.

Filled with practical examples and conversation starters, this book is ideal for:

  • families navigating an APD diagnosis

  • teachers supporting diverse learners

  • audiologists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and allied health professionals

  • classrooms and friendship groups, encouraging empathy and inclusion.

Tuning in to Alex promotes neurodiversity, emotional literacy, resilience and the importance of the right support making a world of difference—making it an essential resource for anyone supporting children with invisible disability, learning or neurological condition.

A beautifully layered children’s story that speaks to both kids and adults, offering a fresh and affirming take on identity, inclusion, and self-understanding. Perfect for children aged 5–10 and the grown-ups in their lives.
