AIT for Non-verbal Learning Disorders (NLD)
Berard method AIT is one of the few programs that is helpful for the treatment of disorders such as Non-verbal Learning Disorders (NLD). AIT has been shown to help normalize the hearing, the auditory processing and the way the brain processes information so that we often see a reduction in the auditory delays and distortions that are most commonly found in non-verbal and other learning issues. Once there is more normalization of the auditory system and neurological functions, we often see improvements in reading, writing, speech and language development, (receptive and expressive) and other related issues such as the ability to handle noisy environments and social situations.
AIT uses filtered and modulated frequencies imbedded into music to help stimulate the audiological and neurological systems. One study of AIT showed increased development of new neural pathways, which helps with many kinds of functions such as the right/left crossover functions, which help with handwriting and other fine and gross motor skills. We have also seen great improvements in comprehension, which of course can affect academic and learning abilities as well as focus and concentration.

"My son just seemed to blossom after AIT. His academics improved so much, the teachers were shocked. They kept asking me what we did to him."
