Seven-year-old child with speech, language and attention difficulties and hyper-sensitivity to noise

Extract from a parent's summary of how they felt their seven year old daughter had progressed over the year since starting the Sound Therapy programme.

"She has progressed extremely well in all areas of development over the past year. Her speech and language has improved dramatically. Her ability to comprehend the spoken word has come on in leaps and bounds and with it has come increased confidence and a greater desire to use speech as her primary method of communication.

She has continued to do well at school and her teachers are delighted with her progress in all aspects of the curriculum. She is quite content to be surrounded by noise and is now unaffected by sudden loud noises. Putting her hands over her ears is now a thing of the past save for occasionally during trips to the cinema. A year ago she would not enter the classroom during music lessons. Now she fully participates and even took part in a recital on stage with the rest of her year group.

In the past specialists have been divided on whether her fine motor skills required attention or not. However, she was recently seen by the Occupational Therapist who chose to discharge her, with no further action required.

I have no doubt that the Sound Therapy programme augmented the support my daughter receives at home and school to facilitate the above changes."
