AIT can improve symptoms in children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as:
Children with auditory and sensory processing problems have difficulty interpreting daily experiences because the capacity to hear and communicate is compromised. Your child may benefit from AIT if they experience:
- Poor attention
- Slower thinking and processing
- Difficulty listening, understanding, and remembering
- Incorrectly understanding and following directions
- Brain “traffic jams” when processing sensory information
- Hindered ability to put ideas in sequence
- Sound hyper (over-sensitive) and hypo-sensitivity (tuned out)
- Low tolerance for distractions
The Berard method of Auditory Integration Training (AIT) helps reorganize the brain to improve auditory and sensory processing capabilities so the brain no longer gets overloaded with disorganized information. Language, learning and social abilities develop more normally, and children are better able to excel as a result.
This method of auditory training was originally developed by Dr. Guy Berard – a French ear, nose and throat physician – who successfully used this technique with thousands of people in Europe. The Berard system of AIT has since become regarded as the most effective approach available for enhanced listening skills, language, learning and sound tolerance.
