OT: Center and update on my AIT questions

[Guest guest]

A while back I posted a question about Berard vs/ Tomatis auditory training

programs. People had wanted an update so here goes. We decided not to jump

right into the Berard method that was going to be offered locally during

spring break. I did a little research and just wasn't sure that it was the

right program for him. Our nutritionist (who thinks Tomatis would be best

for him) had given me the name of the Center in NW New Jersey to check

out. This is a place where they do a variety of audiology/listening

programs (Berard, Tomatis, and a bunch of other ones that I never even knew

existed.) I spoke with a woman there and they seemed very knowledgeble. Has

anyone had any experience with them? We decide that it would make more sense

to get an eval and try to determine where (or even if) Sammy's auditory

problems are before trying anything. These programs aren't cheap so I'd

prefer to se eif he really might benefit from one before I do it. They

really seemed to have their act together at this place; wanting to test him

for frequencies that a typical audiologist wouldn't test for; trying to

determine how he processes information, etc. Just wondering if anyone has

gone there.

If anyone is interested, I will post what we find out. We go on the 19th

and will actually leave with our report right in our hands!!
