Berard AIT Protocol

Sound is movement of air, which in turn is vibrational energy. Berard AIT uses this sound energy, in the form of music, to assist in the reorganization of the brain’s processing capabilities. Given appropriate stimulation, the neural networks in the brain can rewire to create more efficient transmission of information. Berard AIT is a foundational intervention, and as such, it produces a global impact on the body/brain system. There are many programs that provide a form of auditory integration. Here are some guidelines for the protocol to assure that you are receiving the genuine Berard method of AIT.

• 
  The practitioner is trained by an approved Berard instructor and uses approved Berard equipment.
• 
  The practitioner follows the Berard Method.
• 
  Berard AIT is provided personally or under direct (on-site or online video communication) supervision by the Berard AIT practitioner.
• 
  An approved Berard device must be used as the modulation of the music comes directly from the device. Recording music from the device and then playing it on CD or MP3/MP4 is not acceptable.
• 
  The standard protocol for Berard AIT consists of two 30-minute sessions of listening each day for 10 consecutive days. The listening sessions are separated by a minimum of three hours to allow a break from the stimulation.
• 
  Quiet listening without engagement in cognitive activities is recommended. Most people are able to listen quietly, and can choose to lie or sit comfortably, but are instructed not to sleep. During the time between sessions you are free to participate in most of your daily activities. It is recommended that overstimulation, noisy, and stressful activities and environments be avoided.

With the introduction of the Auditory Integration Modulator (AIM) as an approved Berard AIT device (Comparative Study of AIT Devices: The Earducator and Auditory Integration Modulator (AIM)) it is now possible for Berard AIT Practitioners to provide Remote Berard AIT for clients. Berard Practitioner do not need to be in close proximity to the client.

The Berard AIT sessions will be scheduled with a Berard AIT practitioner using a video conferencing platform. The Remote Berard AIT protocol requires the practitioner and client/caregiver to maintain direct visual and audio contact throughout each 30-minute session of the training period. Berard practitioners will directly control the AIM from their location while observing the listening sessions with the client.

A small, lightweight hardware component of the AIM will be shipped to the client, with headphones, and connection cords. This equipment is to be returned to the practitioner at the immediate conclusion of the remote training.

Berard AIT practitioners who provide Remote Berard AIT are identified on their contact information in the Find A Practitioner directory on this website. Contact these Berard practitioners for more details.
