AIT for Sensory Integration Disorders

Berard method AIT is one of the few programs that is helpful for the treatment of Sensory Integration Disorders. AIT has been shown to normalize the way the brain processes information so that we often see the sensory issues and hyper-sensitivity diminish or resolve completely as well as improvements in mood, behavior, learning issues, speech and language. If one can have more normalized senses then there is less over-load, less need for self-soothing and a reduction in "self-stimming" behaviors. AIT is a good pre-curser to other therapies as once the functions are more normalized it allows the individual to utilize other therapies more effectively.

AIT helps with other sensory issues also. It uses filtered and modulated music to help stimulate the audiological and neurological systems. Since AIT uses sound, which is vibrational, going into the areas of the brain where all the different glands and organs are that control different senses and systems of the body, we often see improvements not only in the hearing but in other areas such as vision, taste, smell, touch, balance, coordination, and hand writing among others.

Programs are individualized for each person based on a pre-screening evaluation.

"We tried many different treatment programs, some of which helped but AIT seemed to be the key. It made a big difference with our son. He could go to different places that we could never take him to before because he would just have meltdowns from being overloaded. After AIT he wasn't bothered by sounds, taste, or touch. Even his eye contact improved. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
