AIT Outcomes
What are the outcomes of Auditory Integration Training help?
At the request of Crippled Children Services and Lorna Sullivan, Tauranga, New Zealand, we have compiled information about outcomes among clients from various cities in New Zealand. We have cited the date of AIT training and approximate date of comment and how many follow-up reports were received. Our method is to give families an opportunity to participate in follow-up reporting to our office for 6 months post-training. Each report period referred to in this report represents approximately 6 weeks of time post-AIT. You can download the entire report in PDF format - follow this link: AIT New Zealand Study
