Book Review for The Sound of a Miracle: The Sound of a Miracle is Annabel Stehli's riveting story of her daughter Georgiana's triumphant progress from autistic and functionally retarded to gifted. When mothers from all over the country contacted Annabel and told her their stories, she put them in touch with one another, forming The Parent's Network, and inspired them to do as she had done: Defy the negative prognoses of the experts and fight for their children with Autism, Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), Dyslexia, and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. |
In curing
Georgie's painful hearing, her most distressing symptom, a new intervention
called auditory training made it possible for her to enjoy communication and to
excel academically. There are many Georgies now, ready to take their place among
their peers without a label, with a future as bright as any child's. The
interest sparked by The Sound of a Miracle resulted in the
founding of what is now The Georgiana Institute, the validation of auditory
training as a thoroughly researched treatment modality, and its availability
worldwide.
First published in hardcover by Doubleday in 1991, this book was a Literary
Guild Alternate Selection, and has been translated into Chinese, Dutch and
German. It has also been condensed and published in The Reader's Digest, and
acquired by numerous public libraries. Currently in its fifth printing, it is
sold in trade paperback by the Institute and in bookstores.
The Sound of a Miracle has been reviewed and publicized on
20/20, Larry King, and Sally Jessy Raphael and numerous times on cable and radio
as well as in print. It is also the highlight of discussions and workshops given
at conferences across the country.
