Speech and Understanding Improvements with Auditory Integration Training
(Berard AIT)
Testimonial by the Parent of a Special Needs Child who completed
Berard AIT. Reprinted by permission.
 "Since
coming for treatment Alysia is adding new words on a daily basis and so
far those words and words she knew before are used frequently and seem
to be permanently there for whenever they are needed."
"It is now 7 weeks since
we completed Alysia’s treatment and as you know those 2 weeks were very
difficult for both of us, especially the second week when at one point
I actually thought about calling it a day.
I’m glad that I didn’t follow
that thought through as though you made no promises of improvement, Alysia
did start to change while she was having treatment and has not stopped
since.
Since coming for treatment
Alysia is adding new words on a daily basis and so far those words and
words she knew before are used frequently and seem to be permanently there
for whenever they are needed.
Her sleeping has improved
and the norm is 10 hours a night in her own bed instead of being awake
for most nights for 1 to 3 hours. Her concentration and her attention
span has also improved along with her general understanding and wanting
to understand what is said. Also her eye contact is improving daily.
Alysia isn’t cured or recovered and we still have a long way to
go but I can see the little girl I had before the age of 15 months more
and more each day. It’s like watching a little bud bloom into a beautiful
flower."
