Providing direct, personal accounts of the Tomatis-Listening and Movement Development sessions at the Sacarin Center.

"Our son is doing much better. I'm very excited because he has made a lot of progress academically and socially. His reading scores have improved and his ability to infer meaning has also increased."
Mother of a 12-year-old.

"Our daughter has made great progress following each Tomatis session. We know that we could take her to other centers that are closer to where we live, but we will always travel to bring her to you. We feel that your ability to identify a child's needs and connect with that child is unique and critical to the success of the listening program."
Parents of an 8-year-old.

"Though the results may seem subtle (outside the family), we've noticed that [our son] smiles more and looks more relaxed physically; he's more coordinated and loves to be outside. He's developing a sense of humor, is more interactive with peers and continues to be extremely helpful. We don't have to repeat nearly as often, he seems more focused and it's not as difficult to get his attention. We're extremely pleased we did this and have no regrets."
Parents of a 12-year-old.

"My son went from saying g a few words to building meaningful sentences. Then his receptive language was no longer a huge issue since he is processing information much easier and with responses."
Father of an 9-year-old.

"Prior to Tomatis- Effect, I wondered how my son could succeed in school with his challenges in language, reading, and social endeavors; now I'm very optimistic!!!!!!"
Mother of an 11-year-old.

"After phase two we noticed an increase in [our son's] self-confidence. His music teacher told us that his ability to play his clarinet had improved a lot. Although these were wonderful assets to his daily life, the best change was that he suddenly had a solid group of friends!"
Parents of a 9-year-old.

"We now consider (our son) to be mostly 'recovered' from Autism. He, to most people, does not appear to be Autistic in any way anymore. People actually don't believe me when I tell them that he was severely Autistic. He is now in a 'typical' class for kindergarten without an aide and very limited support."
Mother of a 5-year-old.

 

"Prior to music therapy, our child couldn't rhyme or read a chapter book without adult assistance. Now he's reading short books and can rhyme."
Mother of an 11-year-old.
 
   
"When [I] applied this technique, memorizing ceased being an epic struggle. And now when [I] took the stage to recite a passage or perform a role, [I] no longer suffered a panicky, choking feeling. Now [I] had found [I] could perform long passages of even the most complicated texts with ease and fluidity."
Gerard Depardieu
