Drug Free Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD-ADHD) Treatment Expanded
Enhanced non-medication based treatment for ADD/ADHD, Aspergers, Autism and Auditory Processing Disorder is now available through American College of Behvioral Medicine located in Walnut Creek and Pleasanton, California.
(PRWEB) October 15, 2004 -- Some 14% of children in the United State suffer
from some form of neurological or learning disorders. This includes, Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, Aspergers, Central Auditory Processing
Disorders, Learning Disorders and so on. Research has shown that this group can
benefit by listing to specially filtered music, modulated and altered to each
person’s specific hyper or hyposensitivity frequencies.
“Sound Therapy
has been developed to stimulate the neural pathways into and within the brain.
It was pioneered in the 1940's by Alfred Tomatis, a French ear, nose and throat
specialist. Dr. Guy Berard, another Ear, Nose & Throat specialist, later
improved upon his techniques. Dr. Berard developed the Auditory Integration
Training protocol which is practiced by American College of Behvioral Medicine
and its Attention and Achievement Center.” Said Dr. Ali Hashemian, President of
American College.
AIT uses music, voice and nature sounds that have been
specially filtered to enhance the sounds that are most effective in stimulating
the brain's processing regions By using special recording techniques and
filtering extra activation of the high frequencies, specially introduced at
specific points in the music with a wider range between the highest and lowest
frequencies of the harmonics of the music causes and moving sound from ear to
ear, promoting integration across the midline through a device known as the
Earducator. These modifications stimulate and establish the auditory, visual,
motor and other associated neurological pathways. An improvement in the
associated problems follows.
“ We are pleased to be able to offer Dr.
Berard’s AIT at our center. This marks another landmark of services we can offer
to parents who wish to improve their children’s behaviors and symptoms without
medication,” stated Dr. Ali Hashemian.
American College offers a host of
non-medication based services at its two locations located in Walnut Creek and
Pleasanton; both cities are part of the metropolitan San Francisco and in
northern California. Services include EEG Neurofeedback, HEG feedback, Hypnosis,
Hypnotherapy, Nutritional assessment and consoling, Auditory Integration
Training, Sensory Integration Training, parent’s seminar and classes.
