AIT is for kids who just need a little help in school as well as for children with autism. The US FDA evaluated AIT in 1998 and approves that AIT is a safe and effective means of remediating impairments in auditory discrimination associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), Dyslexia, Language Delays and Communication disorders. AIT also helps with Sensory Processing Disorders, Sensory Issues, Hyperlexia and Non Verbal learning disorders. AIT helps relieve hypersensitive hearing, in effect, reducing the overall sensory overload that some children suffer from. The child will be able to hear better, listen better, and learn better thereby solidifying all the other therapies that the child is undergoing. Learning is thus drastically increased and the child is given a greater chance to move forward. Improvements in hearing, as well as vision, touch, smell, taste, balance, fine motor skills, coordination and hand writing, focus, processing and awareness among others are often noted among clients who have undergone the therapy. The better that autistic children understand auditory information, the better they can comprehend their environment, both socially and academically. The better we understand the autistic child, the better we can develop ways to intervene in an effective manner.
