The Counseling Center

The Counseling Center has been approved by Berard Auditory Integration Training Systems, Inc. as an official AIT training site. Children and adults who benefit from AIT have been previously diagnosed with diverse learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, Downs Syndrome, PDD, CAPD, autism, tinnitus, cerebral palsy and others. Some clients had no specific diagnosis but either had painful hearing, abnormal speech patterns, age inappropriate speech, jargon, echolalia or no speech. AIT is a ten day program of listening to music that has been specially filtered for the individual’s needs. We find that most people enjoy this listening exercise and it can be calming and soothing. We have offices in both Darien, CT and Leicester, NC and also provide an “At-Home” program for those who live at a distance.
