This sounds very much like my 9 yo dd who has been diagnosed with dyslexia. She was evaluated on the CELF and her receptive language score was in the 18th or 16th percentile and her other scores were in the normal to above average range. I don't know if the poor receptive language is related to the dyslexia or if it's caused by CAPD. She definitely shows sx of CAPD.
ETA: She has been evaluated 3 times and not once has anybody thought she has ADD or ADHD. But one problem she has, which sounds like CAPD, is that when she is in the classroom she has such a hard time focusing (she even tells us this) b/c of every sound she hears. And it's not like it's distracting her, in fact she concentrates really hard and she can't help but notice these other sounds and it interferes with her hearing what she needs to be listening to. It seems she has very acute hearing.
Her academic performance improves tremendously when she is instructed one on one, and even more so when she is in a quiet environment.
