A lot of attention is focused on behavioural problems, which range from aberrant social behaviour to obsessive episodes of anger, fear, lack of communication and learning skills, and a host of other symptoms which are classified under general terms such as:
- Auditory Processing Difficulties – listening skills
- Learning Disabilities (LD)
- Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD)
- Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)
- Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
- Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
- Sensory Integration Problems
- Hyperacute and Hypoacute Hearing Difficulties
The influence of hearing is acknowledged as a strong contributory factor to these conditions.
IF YOU CANNOT INTERPRET WHAT YOU HEAR CORRECTLY, this can lead to frustration, anger and learning disabilities which are actually disguising one’s true potential. If such behavior is exhibited, it is a good indicator that a starting point is to investigate whether there is a disruption in the hearing mechanism, and this is where AIT can, and has been proven to display a positive role in the mix of intervention techniques to overcome these disabilities.
The following checklists are useful indicators for AIT intervention.
