Here are just a few of the many positive parent reports received:

“He can do two-step directions, responds sooner when asked questions, has a much better attention span/more focused, can have conversations, is easier to reason with, is making more attempts to make eye contact and socialize with others, is more cooperative/gets work done without prompts and is covering his ears less” (boy, 8, Autism)

“He was able to go to the dentist without yelling and fighting, handles more movements, has better balance, will try new things in O.T., listens better at school, able to keep himself under control and when out of control can get it together a lot easier, speech is clearer and more mature” (boy, 7, CP/ADHD)

“We are currently six months post AIT. He is now able to follow two-step directions, answers yes/no and simple “wh” questions, is making friends with typical peers, has added 15 new foods and he plays with his brother who is two years older. His brother now says it’s fun to have him for a brother. He can now wait when it’s not his turn without having a fit. We are learning to discipline him for the first time, before he never understood so it was useless. He is becoming assertive with statements such as “I have an idea!”. We are getting to know our lost little boy. He no longer seems frightened and he has a lot more confidence. He is developing a sense of humor and actually trying to tell little jokes” (boy, 3, PDD)

“Within 90 days after AIT he was using full sentences (he was using two and three-word sentences before AIT), he is much more articulate, his vocabulary increased so much so fast it was incredible. He is memory has improved, he is able to stick with tasks longer and he no longer has temper tantrums. His O.T. also noted that his eating has improved dramatically” (boy, 4, Autism/24 week premie)

“After two days of therapy we noticed a difference, he slept through the night for the first time in three years!. We also noticed changes in his ability to focus. He has shown significant improvements in sleeping, language skills and his ability to concentrate. After what seemed to be an eternity of constant struggling, we now see the light at the end of the tunnel” (boy, 3, 26 week premie/developmental delays)

“Almost immediately after the sessions ended, he seemed calmer as if there was peacefulness in him I had never seen. His sleeping patterns improved. Then wonderful things began to happen. His world started to expand. A game or toy previously played with in only one manner now increased to multiple ways. Words started coming…even five in one night!. His O.T. released him from sensory integration therapy. In six months, he went from five or ten words to multiple sentences that express his thoughts and emotions. He continues to eagerly repeat new words and try new sentences. Just this alone has changed our family dynamics” (boy, 3, Autism)

If he gets off track, he is able to regroup faster. He got all of his stickers on his behavior chart for one whole week! He is also sleeping better and longer, not getting up during the night. It’s lovely!” (boy, 7, Down Syndrome)

“It really made him more of a five year old!. We realize that he might not ever be able to run or jump as other children, however, the humongous strides he’s made lately are really impressive, especially with the oral sensory issues he used to have.
