A few days ago we saw how the Tomatis method can bring benefits to babies, stimulating their intelligence, and also to pregnant women.
Remember that it is about a music therapy based on ear reeducation to enhance people's learning and global development. This was achieved thanks to listening, filtered at certain high frequencies, Mozart compositions, Gregorian chants and the mother's voice as heard from the womb.
This stimulus of the intelligence of the little ones, to open the doors of their creativity, so that they learn more and better within their possibilities, is also used in the case of Children with learning problems and various developmental disorders.
Some therapists apply and recommend the Tomatis method to treat problems such as attention deficit (with or without hyperactivity), learning delays, autism, dyslexia…
It can also be beneficial for balance and coordination problems (related to the ear), sensory and motor integration problems, Asperger syndrome, generalized developmental disorders, Down syndrome and ear problems in general.
It is tried to maximize the benefits that this treatment (based on high harmonic frequencies of the sounds) bring to the ability of children to memorize and concentrate, providing emotional well-being and motivating them to learn and perform tasks.
Let's think that, for talk, listen, read and write It is necessary to know how to discriminate and analyze the sounds that come to us, with which the correct functioning of the ear is fundamental. This is the basis for any learning: the better trained children have the auditory sense, the more facilities they will have when it comes to performing those tasks.
With this potential, the ability to think, create and relax, conditions necessary for personal growth and development is also nurtured.
Listening to music, talking to them, reading to them, repeating our words, humming, playing linguistic games… everything is good for developing the ear. In any case, and apart from the above, as we talk about the case of children with problems and disorders, we must put yourself in the hands of specialists They will advise what is the best treatment for the little ones.
For those interested in the Tomatis method, here we can find a list with the addresses of centers that apply it. For example, in Latin America there are some centers in Colombia and Mexico, and in Spain in several provinces. Also here is a list of therapists who apply the method in Spain.
