AIT for Dyslexia

Berard method AIT is one of the few programs that are helpful for the treatment of disorders such as Dyslexia and other Learning Disabilities (LD). AIT has been shown to help normalize the hearing, the auditory processing and the way the brain processes information so that we often see a reduction in the auditory delays and distortions that are most commonly found in Dyslexia and other learning issues. Once there is more normalization of the auditory system, we often see improvements in reading, writing, speech and language development, (receptive and expressive) and other related issues such as the ability to handle noisy environments and social situations.

Studies at Rutgers University and elsewhere have found that often with dyslexia there are slight delays in the hearing or ability for the brain to process auditory information. Since the Berard Method of AIT helps to normalize the hearing and neurological functions, we often see improvements in academics and learning issues related to dyslexia.

AIT uses filtered and modulated music to help stimulate the audiological and neurological systems. One study of AIT showed increased development of new neural pathways, which helps with many kinds of functions such as the right/left crossover functions, which help with handwriting and other fine and gross motor skills. We have also seen great improvements in comprehension, which of course can affect academic and learning abilities as well as focus and concentration.

"My husband's aphasia went away! He no longer mixes up pronouns and can find the words he is looking for. Also his digital coordination has improved. He said he knew it had because both typing and piano playing have improved. We are so grateful for the changes. Even his mood is better now. Thank you."

"Our son has made tremendous progress in school academically. He's not struggling anymore and actually likes school now! He's made some 'A's' on spelling tests too!
