Re: Tomasis Method- Any Experience?

[Guest guest]

Hi Sara,

We are doing a Tomatis program now, and I know that Wendie from our

group is also doing it. I have seen tremendous improvements in many

areas, and I have heard many other success stories. Here is a

comprehensive Tomatis web site where you can find out tons of info.

about the program.

Hi Sara, like mentioned my daughter Sky is going through the

Tomatis program. Sky will be turning 3 at the end of the month & we

started this past May. She will do her 5th loop in March. She has

come a very long way this year since starting Tomatis. The areas

where we have seen the biggest changes are her speech & sensory

issues. She was only saying a few words when we started & her

sensory issues were so up & down it made life very difficult for her

& us. Her sensory issues are almost gone now & her speech has

greatly improved. She is now communicating more with us although

her speech is still limited she's made a lot of progress. This is

just our experience & every type of therapy produces different

results with different people. I know the center where we go works

with adults as well so it may be something you want to look into for

your daughter. The link gave you is the best place to start &

has a lot of good info. If you have any other questions I would be

more than happy to talk to you.

We did Berard's version, not Tomatis, and yes, we think it helped.

You might also investigate the new SMILE therapy that is multi-

sensory. It's like AIT on a table that provides tactile,

proprioceptive and vestibular input while shining different color

lights onto the client's eyes (its' REALLY multi-sensory).
