AIT for Autism (ASD) Recovery: Berard Auditory Integration Training Success Story!
A 13 year old boy's success story, Sacramento,
CA. Reprinted by permission. 2005.
 "We notice his handwriting has improved and is much neater...He is
beginning to ask more thoughtful questions and interact in conversations
more appropriately. He seems to understand his class work better and do
homework faster."
"There
has been remarkable improvement in my grandson since he completed
Auditory Integration Training.
We are very pleased with his progress in many areas. We notice his
handwriting has improved and is much neater but he needs
encouragement to continue writing more legibly after
Auditory Integration Training.
He is beginning to ask more thoughtful questions and interact in
conversations more appropriately since
Auditory Integration Training.
He seems to understand his class work better and do homework faster.
When we saw a movie last week-end he was quiet during the movie where he
use to constantly talk and we missed parts of of the movie because of
his talking. He did turn to me during the movie and say, "this movie is
talking to me". The movie was about a little girl whose mother left her
when she was little. My grandson could relate to this because his mom
left when he was little. He had many questions that he wanted answered
about why his mom left and if his parents would get together again. He
had many questions for his dad that he needed answered. His dad tried to
help him understand. My grandson could not understand many things about
it. He strongly feels there should be no divorce because children get
hurt. I thought this was very mature for him because he had never spoken
out about this subject in that way before.
He seems to be more interested in what we talk about at
dinnertime and has participated more in our conversation since
Auditory Integration Training.
He has a long way to go and needs a lot of help but there is "light at
the end of the tunnel now". As time progresses I will continue to let
our
Berard AIT
Practitioner know what is
happening with my grandson."
 Comments from the Berard AIT Practitioner,
Mary E. Scholer, Simoneon Center
in San Jose, California who provided services for this
Boy with Autism:
"What happened after Berard AIT
to the
13 year old autistic
boy I worked with regularly over the past 7 years was so dramatic the
grandmother is almost speechless about it, calling Berard AIT
a
'miracle' for her grandson!"
"All of the things I am reporting here are a complete first for this
child (never done before in his lifetime).
-
During the first day of
Berard AIT he complained that he liked the music but having a hard
time with people saying words and wanted only music. After the
second day he said he was now fine with the words and the music
together. This child has always been irritated with people
talking, yet can't seem to stop talking himself.
-
After 5 days of
Berard AIT he told me that
he was understanding what was being said by classmates,
teacher and remembering what he was reading in his language
arts class.
-
He noticed
that his classroom aid had his head down at the IEP meeting. He
went over to him and asked if he wasn't feeling well.
He's never seemed to notice people's body language before.
-
His
grandmother (a retired Special Education teacher) told me that
he is finishing his homework in 1/10 the time it normally takes, it's
neat and he is writing stories that make sense, getting 80%
comprehension on the things he's reading (before 0-10% comprehension).
-
His
handwriting, which has always been terrible, is now improved
with correct spacing between letters and small in size after
Berard AIT.
-
They went to a movie the other day and he was quiet throughout the
movie, only once saying that he was understanding everything that was
going on in the film.
-
He is now asking family members deep and thought provoking
questions since
Berard AIT.
-
Grandma
also told me there were many more things, but she couldn't remember them
all without her journal, which I encouraged her to do daily during and
after
Berard AIT.
She has been faithfully doing this."
