Auditory Integration Training (AIT) was developed to treat individuals with auditory processing difficulties, particularly hypersensitivity to sound. This technique involves the repeated exposure to different sounds in an effort to “retrain” the ear and improve the way the brain processes information.
The research evidence is generally not supportive of either its theoretical basis or its effectiveness in improving the behavior and functioning of individuals with autism and other sensory problems.
AIT is not endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and should be considered as ineffective and cannot be recommended.
