  • The real question here is, what do you think, Scoobydoo?

    If you think there is nothing wrong with your son's hearing then don't waste your time on this and look for other ways to help your son.

    However if you think your son does have some sort of hearing dysfunction and there are many of them, or if you think that the audiologists report stating, 'definately has no significant hearing loss' doesn't tell the full story...

    Then why not give it a try and maybe it will help to make your autistic son's life a little bit easier.

    The same applies for any other field of sensory therapy. You know your son better than anybody else so only you can decide whether your son might benefit from any type of sensory therapy.

    Below is a link to what the NAS says about AIT and LT.

    For what its worth when my non verbal autistic son was five I was the convinced that he had a hearing dysfunction and I didn't believe the audiologists reports (as stated above) so we tried AIT.

    We immediately felt that he was paying more attention to our speech and two months later he was talking!!!

    Happy hunting Scoobydoo and my best wishes to Scrappy Doo too!
