Stagecoach Bus From Ice Skating al fresco to hot chocolate at the Christmas markets, there are plenty of experiences to share on your visit to London this Winter. Plan a festive trip to the Capital that the whole family can enjoy and get there with the Oxford Tube. Coaches depart from Oxford up to every 12 to 15 minutes, and what’s more up to two children can travel for free* with a fare paying adult! Our coach stop at Marble Arch is just across the road and a few minutes’ walk from the UK’s number one Christmas destination; Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park. Coaches run through the night so you’ll have more than enough time to enjoy the array of attractions and entertainment on offer. There is no need to pre-book your travel tickets, just turn up and board from one of our many Oxford City coach stops. For timetables, fare information and stop locations visit oxfordtube.com *Ts and Cs apply

It retrains the auditory and sensory systems to function more efficiently and to develop more robust connections from ear to Cerebral cortex. The gains are permanent and continue to strengthen for up to 9 months after training. Q: What is Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)? A: APD is an abnormality in the brains ability to filter and process sounds and words. The distortions and delays in the transmission of sounds results in inaccurate and incomplete coding of sound. This leaves the individual struggling to process/interpret what they hear. Q: Is APD common? A: YES! These latest figures from the National Institute of Health may surprise you. In children with learning difficulties 43% have APD and 50% of children with Dyslexia also have coexisting APD. Q: Does APD occur with other learning and behavioural disabilities? A: YES, this coexistence is very common APD often goes undiagnosed , but can be a significant component of ADD, ADHD OR PDD, ASD. Improving the APD can lessen some of the symptoms of other conditions. Q: What solutions can you offer at Hear and Now? A: We offer A comprehensive Auditory assessment, to determine if auditory training will be of benefit to your child. A training specifically suited to your child’s results. Clinically supervised, intensive and highly successful programmes. Book our FREE mini seminar Tuesday 12/12/17 7.30pm - 9pm OR a 20 min FREE chat.
