Insightful Book on the Power of Sound Interventions
This book as a MUST READ for any parent considering the use of sound interventions for a special needs child. Dorinne Davis' "Tree of Sound Enhancement Theory" is extremely helpful as basic concept to assist any parent through the many options of sound interventions currently available.

Of great importance are her findings through many years of research that Auditory Integration Training (Berard AIT) is a key beginning therapy that paves the way for recovery and improvements for special needs child and adults with hypersensitive hearing, sound sensitivities, auditory processing disorders and many other types of learning disabilities.

This is a thorough, detailed and fascinating book that educates and inspires the reader to consider sound as a non-invasive, safe, drug-free alternative to making sweeping life changes for special needs children and adults.

Wonderful book!
As a practitioner of Auditory Integration Training(AIT), I am very pleased to be able to add this title to other books about AIT! While Sound Bodies through Sound Therapy covers a vast area with a wealth of specific information about sound therapies in general, it explains the important role of AIT very well. It is great to also have a new companion for books about AIT: Dr. Guy Berard's Hearing Equals Behavior (out of print) and Annabel Stehli's books Sound of a Miracle, Dancing in the Rain, and her newist, Sound of Falling Snow!
