It was great to join this group of smart, well informed parents of children on the spectrum last Monday. They discussed many cutting edge therapies that they have been involved with. I was pleased when the conversation turned to listening programs. Among the 20 or so families represented, 6 had been through some form of Tomatis auditory training. They all agreed that they saw gains which did not dissipate over time. Among the gains reported were increased eye contact, decreased self stimulatory behaviors, and increased use of language. What a great evening! Thanks for the pizza and the company! Let’s do it again soon!
