This is an invaluable resource for understanding the background and development of the Bérard Method of Auditory Integration Training (AIT) which has helped, dramatically in so many instances, those aged 3 to 75 or older who suffer from auditory and sensory information processing issues. The book offers new understanding of these problems, and most importantly, explains the intervention called Bérard AIT – a simple 10-hour training program that reorganizes the dysfunctional auditory and sensory center so the brain no longer gets overloaded with confusing information. How the individual hears is critical for correct response to his/her environment. Are there distortions, timing delays, misperceptions, sequencing problems? These disruptions will interfere with processing until the auditory system is reorganized and balanced.
Hearing Equals Behavior: Updated and Expanded is an important addition to the collection of books that focus on auditory processing problems and associated learning and behavior difficulties. Professionals familiar with Bérard AIT recommend his program for those struggling with learning and behavior. It provides the reader with current information on the impact of his AIT on sensory modulation and behavior, as well as its effect on the auditory and visual system. The Bérard Method is regarded as the most effective approach available for enhanced listening skills, language, learning, and sound tolerance. This book will enable readers to understand how listening and learning can “switch on” when the auditory system is rebalanced and functioning effectively.
