Our trip to Quiberon changed everything for Tom. Diagnosed autistic in Spring, he didn’t speak or hardly, in a language which we couldn’t understand. Coming to the Centre we were looking just to improve his oversensitivity. In fact, as the sessions went on, which were accepted increasingly readily, Tom’s articulation started to improve. Some time after the first course, Tom was speaking better and we could understand him ! A radical change…
We came back a few months later, curious to see what this second session would bring. Just after a few sessions he started to sing ! The progress which Tom underwent very much impressed us : from accepting the headset, to listening, speaking and then singing. And the effects continue to be felt since our return to Canada.
Tom is now constructing little by little his first sentences, whereas before he could only repeat what he heard.
Each child is unique and each story different. We owe a lot to the Waddells and to Professor Tomatis’s heritage. We will certainly be back once more to watch with amazement the unexpected impact of these techniques on his autistic traits.
