DESCRIPTION:
Sound impacts on our whole being, our emotions, and how we learn. Sound must
be heard correctly and then perceived correctly in order to listen,
comprehend, and follow through with information. Sound also affects how we
feel. This chat will: 1) explore the foundation of Sound Based Therapy 2)
cover four specific therapies: Auditory Integration Training, The Tomatis
Method, Fast ForWordT and BioAcousticsT. Chat attendees will learn a) what
each therapy is, b) how the various therapies work on creating positive
change for those with autism and 3) demonstrate how sound based therapies
can help with specific traits of autism, especially receptive/expressive
language, oral motor issues, vestibular issues, proprioceptive issues,
social/emotional issues, sensory integration issues, temporal sequencing,
and motor planning activities. The chat participants will understand the
importance of sound and auditory perception and why early intervention is
beneficial.
