FYI.   We are doing the Auditory Integration training in lieu of TLP.  BTW, our

insurance is coveirng the AIT training as Dr. Berard has the double blinded

studies that support improvement if not cures for dyslexia, autism and severe

depresssion.  I thought I would pass this along.  maddy will do the speech

track.  I am hopeful after reading his book, Hearing Equals Behavior.

 

I am told the TLP is more emotional and AIT is more neurologically based.

Berard Auditory Integration Training or Berard AIT was developed by Dr. Guy

Berard, an otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose and Throat or ENT physician) in Annecy,

France.

 

 Dr. Guy Berard originally invented AIT to rehabilitate disorders of the

auditory system, such as hearing loss or hearing distortion (hypersensitive,

hyposensitive, or asymmetrical hearing).

 

After 35+ years of clinical practice and study, Dr. Berard determined that, in

many cases, distortions in hearing or auditory processing contribute to

behavioral or learning disorders. In the large majority of Dr. Berard's cases,

AIT significantly reduced some or many of the handicaps associated with autism

spectrum disorders, central auditory processing disorders (CAPD), speech and

language disorders, sensory issues including auditory, tactile or other sensory

sensitivities (hyper or hypo), dyslexia, pervasive developmental disorder (PDD),

attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity, anxiety, and

depression.

Berard Auditory Integration Training was designed to normalize hearing and the

ways in which the brain processes auditory information. For example, an

individual tests as hypersensitive to the frequencies of 1,000 and 8,000 Hertz

while perception of all other frequencies falls within the normal range. The

individual becomes overstimulated, disoriented or agitated in the presence of

sounds at 1,000 and 8,000 Hertz. Therefore, Berard AIT works to normalize the

hearing response across all frequencies within the normal hearing range.

 

In another example, an individual's hearing is asymmetrical (significantly

different between the two ears). When the right and left ears perceive sounds in

an extremely different way, problems with sound discrimination can occur. Again,

Berard AIT works to normalize the hearing of both ears.
