Re: listening program- sensory issues

[Guest guest]

We and some of our friends with kids on the spectrum have done Tomatis Listening

Program last year.

My son always used to run away from the sound of hair-dryer. After we had done

with program his fear of hair-dryer vanished. Tomatis is said to help with lots

of sensory issues.

I have copied a link about sensory issues and sound sensitivity.

sounds. He has such difficulty with this. EVERY sound is as important as every

other sound. It also seems that the most unimportant and often almost inaudable

sound is the one he focuses on. Any help would be appreciated.

Our daughter has sensory issues and we have done some listening therapy. We have

used " The Listening Program " and " Vital Sounds " on and off. We preferred the

Listening Program. It's hard to know what exactly helps our daughter. I can't

say for sure that the listening therapy has had a great impact. But it is

supposed to be good for them. I think it's worth a try.

Tomatis can be very expensive, but if there is a center near you, it might be

worth a try. We have decided to wait until our child is more willing to wear the

headphones when we need her to. The therapies we have done have been home

implemented.

Best Wishes,
