Speech -Language Therapy, Auditory Processing
Dianne Lewis, MA, CCC/SLP, Bethesda, MD
Joubert Syndrome Foundation & Related Cerebellar
Disorders. Professional Advisory Committee Member
These skills include receiving information through the
ear which is then transferred to the auditory cortex in
the left temporal lobe of the brain, i.e. responding to
his/her name or a one step direction. First you should
have your child tested by a certified Tomatis or Berard
Auditory Training practitioner to see if your child has
any hypersensitivity to sound. If so these should be
treated so your child will be more able to attend to
auditory information. After that, your therapist will
tell you where to begin on the hierarchy of teaching
your child how to listen and make sense of what he/she
hears. The Fast For Word computer program is available
for decreasing temporal sequencing which makes it easier
for the older child to process language and learn how to
read.
Auditory Integration Therapy
Cindy Bazell Wilson, MA, CCC-A, Detroit, MI
Auditory Integration Therapy or "AIT" is a form of
sensory integration therapy. Sensory integration is the
ability to take in, sort out, and connect information
from the world around us. Problems with sensory
integration may include over sensitivity or lack of
response to one or more types of sensory experience.
Sensory integration dysfunction can result in
difficulties with attention, speech, language, academic
achievement or behavior.
