I suspect my DS3 may have auditory processing disorder (trouble with auditory discrimination even when next to me at home with a competing noise such as running water or fan, sensitivity and anxiety related to sounds).
I read with interest the Tomatis thread below, since we were recently referred by our OT (for SPD) to the Sacarin Center, which uses the Tomatis method. I know most audiologists don't recommend treatment for children younger than 6 due to lack of norms established for that age and that the auditory sense is still developing.
I want to help my DS now instead of waiting, since this issue seems to cause him the most distress. I've heard that the time commitment may be too much for a very young child. Any suggestions?
