My son has developed huge issues with sound since our DD was born. He never liked kids crying but now since he is around her and she cries it has turned really bad. He covers his ears and cries until she stops which is great since his crying makes her cry more. My question is whether anyone had tried the Sound Therapy before. I have Liam set for an evaluation and have heard good things but his OT was wishy washy on it and I have to think it is because it is something she at the moment cannot provide. They hate when we try and do outside things esp. if they did not mention it to us first. I think it will help, did anyone else have any good/bad experiences with it. Thanks! Jen Hi there! I am not sure if this is something similar but we started introducing therapeutic listening to ds about a month ago and he loves it. There are special CDs and special headphones that the the clinic that ds goes to, provides to kiddos. The CDs have these stages: Orienting, Regulation, Sensory Modulation, Core/Praxis, Connection, Engagement, and Communication. Each session should last 20-30 minutes, 2xday, 7 days/week. We have not started the full-program yet, but we do about 10 minutes during his floortime and it really helps him calm down and self-regulate. He actually asks for it now. I hope this helps.Hi, Taylor can't deal with high screams or crying. She used to go completely nuts (hands over ears, banging head, hitting, etc) when she heard any child with a high pitched sound. The school now removes her from that part of the room, because nothing stopped her from her inability to deal with it. I have a son that does that constantly, and she can't stand it still (he is 13 and has high voice). She will begin hitting and banging head whenever he is even fooling around and does his loud voice. The sound therapy was okay for us but, baby einstein seemed to be what helped her the most in calming techniques. However, it still doesn't stop her from getting upset here. She can't seem to block it out. The other therapy only made her more agitated, for some reason. I just guess each of our kids is different in that way and, what works for some doesn't work for all. I ended up just giving her a "safe room" that she can go into, put her music on and shut the door. God Bless, Kelly |
