Summer 2008
Welcome to the Georgiana Institute website.
We are the primary AIT/DAA information source for both parents and AIT/DAA practitioners.
What is Auditory Integration Training (also known as Digital Auditory Aerobics)?
Digital Auditory Aerobics is a sound and music therapy that consists of randomly modulated and filtered music played through headphones for half an hour, twice a day, for ten days. The 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, and Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD).
How can AIT/DAA benefit my child (or me)?
Typically reported in children are improvements in socialization skills, expressive language, sleeping, and academic performance and a reduction in the need for medication. Correspondingly, adults report decreased tension levels and depression and increased focus and concentration.
The next Auditory Training (Digital Auditory Aerobics) session at the Georgiana Institute is scheduled for Monday, August 18, 2008. It will be conducted by Annabel Stehli, Certified Auditory Training Practitioner, in association with Barbara Lindner, M.Ed., OTR/L., Berard-certified. The ten-day therapy consists of 2 half-hour listening sessions per day, spaced a minimum of four hours apart. There will be break during the weekend at the midpoint. Please contact Annabel Stehli at (860) 355-1545 or send her an email at georgianainstitute@snet.net.
What is the Georgiana Institute and what is its purpose?
Annabel Stehli is the director of the Georgiana Institute, a non-profit organization in Roxbury, Connecticut. She has championed AIT since the recovery of her daughter from autism, ADHD and dyslexia through the use of this therapy in 1977. She travels the world to promote AIT and is credited with bringing this promising non-drug intervention to world attention over the last fifteen years. She was instrumental in having Digital Auditory Aerobics/ Auditory Integration Training evaluated by FDA in 1998.
At the Connecticut Center for Auditory Training, also in Roxbury, Ms. Stehli conducts Digital Auditory Aerobics (DAA) AIT sessions for children and adults. In addition to DAA sessions, equipment sales to qualified professionals, and training, are available.
