AIT Candidacy
Who does Auditory Integration Training help?
Who are good candidates for this training?
Who should have AIT?
Berard-style AIT was embraced by those families who had children with autism spectrum disorder, when it was brought to the United States from France. However, when we look at autism symptoms for processing flaws, we see great need for better sensory integration. That’s why AIT works so well for people “on the spectrum.”
10 days can seem like a long time, will it be “worth it”?
Many other people… have problems with processing sensory information too…
- People who have had a head injury due to accident or trauma…
- People who have Central Auditory Processing Disorder…
- People who have attentional problems like those with Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder…
- People who have sensitive hearing…
- People who have symptoms of episodic or chronic depression…
- People who have Sensory Integration Disorder…
- People who have Cerebral Palsy…
- People who have visual processing disorders…
Lots of people, young and old… Individuals with auditory input anomalies may benefit. Individuals with disabilities affecting sensory input may include, but are not limited to, those with diagnoses of:
- autism
- autistic-like behaviors
- pervasive developmental delay
- attention deficit disorder
- dyslexia
- learning disabilities
- Tourettes
