Re: ? stehli book on AIT

[Guest guest]

Hi Khat,

It is my personal experience that AIT was and is one of the most effective therapies we used (and still use as we do AIT once a year). bel is a close personal friend of mine, and I keep her posted on how my son is now in Hollywood, CA and is acting and modeling, an academic whiz, super basketball player, and has a nice group of close friends. We also did and still do mild Hyperbaric Oxygen, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, organic diet, detox with natural supplements, treat infection with natural supplements, chiropractic and cranial sacral therapy... I list these other therapies because I honestly did them all at the same time, so the synergy of the combined therapies most likely contributed to our great success. I bought the equipment from bel and do AIT every year on myself, my son, and my daughter as well. Research from Autism Research Institute has shown that it increases neurogenesis exponentially, which can stimulate many beneficial results. Feel free to email me offline as well. I no longer live in Florida, but would be happy to help in any way I can.

Blessings,

? stehli book on AIT

I got an old copy of The Sound of a Miracle, the story of a girl who went through AIT and recovered from sound sensitivity.

I'm writing to ask if others have read this book (and the heart-wrenching story of what the mother went through). Obviously, AIT doesn't work for most or we would all be flocking to practitioners for a miracle cure.

Nonetheless, I find it odd that the girl, now 40+, married, graduate of college with honors, never wrote about her experience or participates in ASD circles. Her mother runs an institute about Auditory training but I'm wondering what others think about how the subject of the book isn't in the public eye.

Has anyone had a positive experience with AIT? Thanks for any information and feel free to contact me off-list. Khat

Khat,

I actually heard bel Stehli speak and her story is nothing short of inspiring especially because she is a mom from the 60's when autism was practically unheard of. There are stories of specific therapies that have had amazing results on children and these stories have not necessarily been replicated with many others. But that does not mitigate the therapy in any way. AIT is the Berard Method of auditory integration therapy. AIT is an excellent way to improve auditory processing issues and many other related sensory issues as well. There is also the Tomatis method which is different than the Berard but both were formulated by French ENT doctors. Tomatis was established first in France and brought to Canada. The Listening Centre in Toronto run by Madaule and it is an amazing place. The therapy is called Sound Stimulation Therapy. My son did many years and made great gains. It's a type of therapy that is on going improvement as you keep doing it. The Tomatis centre provides home programs for parents so they don't have to continue with the full program which is more expensive. Here in the US the Berard method is more popular. Either way it is an easy way to make lots of gains for your child. www.listeningcentre.com
