Scheduling can be done , up to six months in advance, by calling or
emailing the office. Every effort will be made to accommodate your
child’s schedule. Many families find it most helpful to do AIT during
the summer months but some are able to arrange the twice-daily visits
during regular school sessions.
The summer schedule begins around the third week of May and
continues through mid-August. It is usually very full in advance,
so early scheduling for summer times is advised. A two-week
session is usually provided in the Phoenix, Arizona area during
the summer.
The only preparation recommended may be helping your child learn to
wear soft headphones that cover their ears (not the small, in-the-ear
type). Many children are sensitive to touch on their heads and ears
but will learn to wear headphones with practice. It is very unusual
for children to be unable to wear the headphones for AIT after a few
sessions.
Experience has shown that children who have been participating in
Sensory Integration and/or Cranial Sacral treatment, prior to AIT,
seem to have better results. As noted in the Precautions section, it
is best not to begin any other new forms of therapy or treatment prior
to, during or up to 6 months after AIT.
