Official title
The Effect of Tomatis Auditory Stimulation in Children and Adolescent With Neurodevelopmental Disorders (TomatisOn)
Overview
The current study aims to explore the preliminary efficacy of the Tomatis method on auditory processing in children with NDDs.
Detailed description
This will be a two-arm, randomized controlled trial exploring whether the Tomatis training could improve the components of auditory processing in children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders referred to a Romanian Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit. Outcomes assessment will be conducted at baseline (T1), immediately after the training (T2).
Interventions
- Device Tomatis auditory stimulation
Traditional Tomatis Method Protocol
Primary outcome measures
- Air conduction thresholds [Time frame: Change from baseline AC (time 0) at immediately after the intervention (time 1)]
- Bone conduction thresholds [Time frame: Change from baseline BC(time 0) at immediately after the intervention (time 1)]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Developmental Disability Children's Global Assesment Scale total score [Time frame: Change from baseline DD_CGAS (time 0) at immediately after the intervention (time 1)]
