ADD/ ADHD ADD/ ADHD and Sound Therapy

A drug free method to normalise concentration and behaviour

Recognising ADHD is usually a gradual process for the parents. First the behaviour is put down to the ‘Terrible Twos’, but when it turns into the ‘Terrible Threes’ and ‘Terrible Fours’ and ‘Terrible Fives’, parents realise something is definitely amiss.

On the other hand, sometimes parents of hyperactive children do not realise their child is hyperactive, yet it is patently obvious to outsiders who are not used to being exposed to such a whirlwind of activity. If several outsiders have commented, it may be wise to look into getting help for your child.

ADHD, which includes the former definition of ADD, is believed to be a disorder of the brain’s neurotransmitter chemicals, noradrenaline and dopamine. Some research has begun to identify possible areas of the brain which may be involved. The greatest reduction in brain metabolism is in areas believed to be important in the control of motor activity, attention, and the inhibition of inappropriate responses.

However, the only way of diagnosing the condition is by assessing the child on a number of behavioural standards. These behaviours relate to the ability of the child to focus attention and to use judgement and inhibition.

When Sarah was 6 yrs old, she was diagnosed with ADHD. She is 11 now and about two months ago she started on Sound Therapy. Sarah listens at bedtime and falls asleep listening to it. WOW!!!!! We noticed within weeks that her hyper times had become less and she was a much more pleasant person to be around. Once Sarah had listened for at least 100 hours, we took her off her Ritalin. Before Sound Therapy, 5 days without Ritalin would make for an explosive, stressful and upsetting household for all. If you are looking for information, guidance and help with any of your family or yourself, I’m here to tell you first hand that this has worked for us.

Prior to your child receiving a diagnosis, you may find that many professionals will try to reassure you by saying things like: ‘Don’t worry, he’ll grow out of it.'

The cause of ADHD today is largely attributed to genetics. But more and more evidence is now pointing to biochemical causes related to our increasingly toxic environment. Some cases of ADHD have responded well to dietary change, allergy treatment and supplementation. Some respond well to Sound Therapy. Some are controlled by prescription drugs. Some doctors trace the cause to the inner ear system and its corresponding brain pathways.

ADHD is sometimes described as ‘limbic immaturity’, meaning the ability to control and have judgement over one’s emotions is underdeveloped. This means there may be a big improvement in mid to late adolescence. The limbic system does not fully mature until the early twenties and some males show significant behaviour change at that time.

Sound Therapy is usually highly effective in improving behaviour and concentration for children with ADHD. It works via the ear to enhance neural pathways associated with the control of motor activity, attention, and inhibition. It stimulates and speeds up certain centres in the neocortex required for judgement and inhibition.

Oppositional Defiance Disorder

is a behaviour pattern where the child constantly says ‘no’, stubbornly refuses to co-operate with requests and intentionally breaks rules. You would have to meet and spend time with one of these children to understand that this is more than the ‘Terrible Twos’, and is not due to poor parenting.

Conduct Disorder

(CD) is a pattern of constantly violating the rights of others. Children with Oppositional Defiance Disorder often go on to develop Conduct Disorder.

It enhances auditory processing by training for right ear dominance. The effect may be an increase in facial expression early on in the listening program, plus an improved ability to use language and construct sentences. This may be accompanied by improved coordination, spatial awareness and sense of timing. As the child’s auditory perception is enhanced, parents and teachers usually also report better behaviour, a happier deposition and noticeable improvement in the child’s ability to communicate and learn.
