Cognitive Development

---

To get started, we perform an assessment for the adult or child who is struggling. The assessment takes about an hour and will:

• Pinpoint specific weaknesses that are holding you or your child back
• Reveal the “why” behind struggles you may have been observing for some time
• Provide a detailed look at you or your child’s unique cognitive strengths and weaknesses
• Give you valuable insights into the next-best-step

*Assessments are free to Jubilee Families

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permits the following statement: “Auditory Integration Training remediates impairments in auditory discrimination (sound sensitivity and auditory distortion) associated with Autism, Learning Disabilities, and related disorders – ADD & ADHD, CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), Dyslexia.”

Auditory Integration Training aims to reduce:

• distortions in hearing
• extremely sensitive hearing
• irregularities in how sounds are processed.

These difficulties can cause discomfort or confusion in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Some practitioners also claim that AIT can help to improve speech and language difficulties and other core features of ASD.

Hypersensitivity to certain frequencies is believed to cause a variety of perceptual problems (such as an inability to concentrate or to understand other people). It may also cause other problems (such as irritability or lethargy).

AIT is designed to improve the person’s ability to process sounds by ’re-educating’ the brain. This is done by playing electronically modified music or other sounds in which the frequencies have been changed.

We make your brain work more efficiently by targeting weak, underlying  processing skills then re-training how your mind makes connections. As the brain responds to the training, it undergoes physical changes, a process neuroscientists call neuroplasticity. The result is the creation of new neural pathways which are efficient, automatic, and permanent.

After completing an evaluation to reveal strong and weak areas of cognitive function, we train the brain through intense exercises.  Don’t worry, we make it fun! These activities directly improve how the brain thinks, reads, remembers, and learns.

These exercises will be completed while sitting across the table from your own brain trainer. This one-on-one component is important for the training to be adapted to the client’s unique needs.
