Hi oy
My OT also has these CDs. Just like what you describe, the sound (music) goes “randomly” to right side, to left side, in high pitch and in low pitch...etc. Maybe sound of certain frequency is removed also. I never listened to it myself. My OT said she tried it, and could not stand it.
You would need good quality setero earphones. During OT they used earphones that don’t block sound from outside so the child can listen to music and our voices at the same time.
The OT occasionally talks to my daughter during that therapy, and she puts her on a tire swing and gently rotates her on the swing. The session is only 15min. To me, it was the only valuable part of OT for my daughter. To me this is auditory processing (integration) training. Actually if you search by keyword “auditory processing listening program” you will find these CDs are for sale at online stores. But I am not confident about their quality!
I don’t think the effect has been proven by clinical trial or there is scientific publication to show its effect. Also I saw posts from yinlin that some version of 听统训练 (not sure what kind) may induce seizure for seizure-prone autistic kids, so caution should be taken.
As to my daughter, she listened to it for 3 months, once of week, 15min each time. And after this training she seemed to be able to pay attention in preschool class, but in the meantime, she started to complain about trivial noises which didn’t bother her before the training. I can’t say it is the listening program having these effects. Most of these self-claimed autism therapies badly need positive clinical trial results.
For me, I am looking forward to going back to OT to have another session of the auditory processing therapy. Overall I think it did good to my daughter.
补充几句:我是听统的支持者。小孩子,尤其是上学以后,有多少的信息是从听觉而来。像我女儿,除了自闭,还有ADHD,注意力涣散,尤其是听力注意力涣散。很多自闭的孩子是有视觉优势而不是听觉优势,通过listening program,练习听觉的中枢神经疏导。听觉信息处理神经是大脑的一部分,是有plasticity的,是可塑的可改进的。有癫痫倾向的孩子听了会更容易犯癫痫,实际上也证明了它有作用,只不过有些孩子不适用,有些孩子适用。
我女儿是长期中耳炎的患者,所以她的听力训练更有另外一层意义,就是除了练听觉处理神经,还练内耳和中耳本身。 |
