Speech and Social Interaction Improves with Auditory Integration Training
(Berard AIT)
Testimonial by the Parent of a Special Needs Child who completed
Berard AIT. Reprinted by permission.
 "I think
that one of the most noticeable differences in Alysia is that she wants
to be around people more."
"I am convinced that Berard
Auditory Integration Training has worked for Alysia. After
it she definitely seemed to become more aware of herself and more confident.
She also started to take more interest
in everything around her, ranging from toys, animals, books adults and
other children.
In the last couple of months
she has adapted from just playing alongside the other children to interacting
not just through play but verbally as well. She has also started calling
people that she comes into contact with regularly by their names and
not always but about 60% of the time voluntarily saying “Hello nanny”
“Goodby Toni” etc.
Her articulation is
improving daily. We ask her what things are and can expect to
get a reply. I think that one of the most noticeable differences in Alysia
is that she wants to be around people more. She now demands our attention
and says, “Mummy come here” or “Daddy come on” and hold out her hand for
one of us to join her."
