AIT

[Guest guest]

Hi Guen, we did AIT twice with when she was about 6 and saw good

results, the best of which was that she came home and potty trained

immediately afterward~ so it definitely helped her neurologically in

some way. It was difficult to tell about the hearing sensitivity because

she developed ear infections again and had to have a second set of tubes

so whatever gains made seemed to have been lost. At that time it was

commonly thought that AIT was a once in a lifetime process however

current thinking is that it definitely needs to be repeated.

Because it is so expensive you might want to consider one of the at-home

approaches such as Samonas or Ease which you can implement repeatedly.

There is a lady among us named Kay Ness who might want to chime in here

as she is aquainted with newer protocals. It is a complementary therapy~

then again I'm not sure there are many scientifically " proven " therapies

for autism and different approaches seem to help different kids. Sadly

it's pretty much a trial and error thing. Some folks have gotten AIT

paid for by insurance under the guise of speech therapy treatments. I

have heard the best reports from parents of lower functioning kids; I

have heard reports of it doing nothing, and I have heard reports of

worsened behaviors which eventually resolved. Have you read " Hearing

Equals Behavior? " Good luck whatever you decide and please let us know.

Guen, Regarding your question about AIT, we tried this twice with our son

Gene who has DS and autism. This was when he was about 6 and 7 and now he is

11. Truthfully, I saw few results. We had hoped it would help his speech

but I could not say that all of a sudden we saw a change. Jackie Rockwell in

Ohio comes up to Michigan to do this and she is trained in the Berard method.

It was expensive and the only reason we went for it twice was because the

second time it was free. It certainly didn't harm Gene in any way that I

could tell. He really enjoyed the listening sessions. I hear more talk

about a program called Fast Forward now..but I have not really had a chance

to look into it. Lauri

[Guest guest]

Dear Sherry,

Thank you for your reply. The psyocologist mentioned that he does not like

samonas. But did not explain why. Because I asked too many questions he

asked me to take an appointment. So I had the impression that these two were

different things. Oh, sometimes I really am tired of " researching " .

Regards

Guen

Hi All -

There is a therapist offering Auditory Integration Therapy for Guam (our

home) at the end of this month. The information I have read sounds

intriguing but the therapy is expensive - $1,200 for 10 days plus airfare

and hotel accomidations for the therapist to be split umongst the

participating families. Does anyone in this group have any experience with

AIT? I would really appreciate your input. Thanks

Yes, it is indeed expensive and if it's the same as the one I know of,

Intensive as well. The place where Maddie used to receive sensory

integration therapy offered it twice a year. I always opted out because I

knew she wouldn't keep those head phones on and I wasn't quite *sold* on it.

The AIT trainer explained to me that it was sort of like conditioning. An

example she used was imagine that you live next to a train station and every

night the train wakes you up. You can be conditioned to sleep through it.

They had said that often kids would scream with the phones on, but then

eventually they'd stop. Well, I wasn't willing to *force* Maddie to sit

with headphones on.

And anyway, ultimately, her sensivities got MUCH better by themselves over

time. She's still not 100%, but WAY WAY better than she was.

Just a note, I saw a study last fall that showed AIT did not help and

actually made some socialization factors worse for the participants

involved. I was looking for it, and couldn't find it.

You may want to check out Listening Therapy (www.vitalsounds.com) Our

speech therapist recommended it, and we had very good results with our son

using it. He went from putting his hands over his ears and tantruming at

all ambient music (even elevator music in the grocery store) to being able

to tolerate it. I also found that having him listen to music would settle

him down in the middle of a tantrum. Also later, as his speech improved,

and he would ask to listen to the music, he told me " It helps my school not

be so loud. "

We bought a cd player, Sonheiser (SP?) headphones and a fanny pack. We had

him listen 30 minutes in the am and 30 minutes in the pm. We rented the CDs

from the therapy place. Each month we would move to a new cd. Over the

course of 6 months we spent a total of about $650 on the program.

Anyone tried AIT and what results have you seen? Our auditory

issues

are in the comprehension area. Saw great

results with Sensory

further. Any

information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rob...

We started our 5 yr old in AIT a few weeks ago. He can only get in 2 to 3

days a week. The SLP says they like to do at least 1 hour per day for 10

days in a row.

The first thing we needed to do was get him used to wearing head phones for

at least 30 minutes. We got Braxton a portable CD player with the headphones

& we put it in a back pack. We had him wear it when we went in the car. We

put classical music in to play.

As far as how it is working...we have seen changes. At first, he was

flapping & stimming more. SLP says this is normal as his system is

re-organizing. Then we noticed this last week, him slowing down. We are

starting to get more sounds out of him also. This site may be helpful in

locating someone in your area.

>Hi

We have used the Johansen method (on CD) over the past 6 mths and have

noticed is calmer at bed times and initially slept better

(although he was sleeping 11 hrs anyway) There is a decrease in sound

sensitivity also. I have heard that the listening programme is very

good and more technologically advanced (less background noise) than

Johansen. The soundlearningcentre info@... in

London does combined vision therapy with auditory integration. We plan

to do this in the Summer. It involves 20 mins in the pm daily for 7

days (I think followed by further 7 days) sometimes they'll travel out

if you can group together a few clients - not sure if this is just for

AIT , not combined with vision. I believe this is based on the Berard

Method on which the book Sound of a Miracle, about recovered child by

Anabel Stehli is based.

Hi

This sounds great value - can only compare with Johansen - We've paid

£75 for initial consult and then £25 ea for 6 discs which we are now

rotating. Soundlearningcentre is around £1,000 - £1,500 but more I'm

sure for vision also.The more I think about it, the more I am

convinced J has vision issues hence our thinking about combined

approach.

Elaine,

A few years ago we had a very severe sound sensitivity problem with

our son. We were living abroad at the time (in Oz) and he became

extreemly sensitive all of a sudden to the bird noise in the garden

(mainly Mynah birds which caw very loudly), it became so bad that he

refused to go in the garden, even getting him from the house to the

car was difficult, and if he heard the birds whilst inside he would

be beside himself, it was a very difficult time for us.

Anyway to cut a long story short we eventually solved the problem by

treating his gut problems, he was put on a course of Flagyl to treat

parasites and bingo almost overnight the problem disappeared. So

IMHO what in essence i am saying, as has Caroline, is that it may

possibly be something amiss in his gut causing this to happen.

Hi Nikki,

does have some big gut issues which

are always there but worsen from time to time.  He has always had minor issues in relation to

his ears but are much worse at the moment.  I do think that it could be gut related too

and as it is always there to some degree hope that some AIT might compliment

the gut treatments.

Does that make sense?
