Auditory Integration Training...

Do you or your child have a history of ear infections?
Do you or your child have problems following sequenced verbal instruction?
Do you or your child frequently misunderstand what is said?
Do you or your child have a short auditory memory?
Are you or your child easily distracted by background noise?
Do you or your child have sensitive hearing? Are "small" sounds perceived as uncomfortable?
Do you or your child engage in humming or audible self-talk?
Do you or your child frequently need "quiet time" to regain mental energy and composure?
Do you or your child have an articulation problem?

If you answer YES to any of the questions above, consider Auditory Integration Training to resolve issues of discomfort, poor receptive language or sensory integration dysfunction.

General Information

Auditory Integration Training is considered an alternative, non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive intervention designed to alleviate hearing discomfort or hypersensitivity. It has been known to accelerate progress with allied therapies such as speech, occupational therapy, movement and other developmental therapies. DAN (Defeat Autism Now) Doctors advise parents to consider AIT as one of the first interventions, to alleviate symptoms of autism, reduce painful hearing (hyperacusis) and improve receptive language.
