BERARD AIT PRACTICE
Dorinne Davis was trained as an
Berard AIT Practitioner by
Dr. Guy
Berard in 1992, was certified as a
Berard AIT Instructor by
Dr.
Berard, was one of the original 50 members of the International Association
of Berard Practitioners (IABP). Dorinne Davis is currently an active member of
the
Auditory Integration Training Professional Professional
Organization (AIT-PRO).
Dr. Guy Berard gave Dorinne Davis
special credentials to work with children under the age of 3 who can benefit
from
Auditory Integration Training because of her audiological area of expertise.
RESEARCH
Ms. Davis’ research has also identified
that
Berard AIT retrains the acoustic reflex muscle in the middle ear, allowing
better transmission of ‘clearer’ sound to the cochlea and subsequently to the
brain for comprehension. She has worked with thousands of people, young and old,
learning challenged and normal, making change with their response to sound using
Auditory Integration Training.
Ms. Davis is an international speaker in the
field of sound therapy. Recently she was asked to establish a radio show for
Autism One Radio. Her program entitled, “Sound Effects with Dorinne
Davis: How sound Affects the Person with Autism” is played on
Autism One Radio the second Thursday of every month at 12:30 PM.
