Frequent ear infections
During Ryan’s early years, frequent ear infections hindered his language development, affecting his ability to process sound. Despite undergoing speech therapy, Ryan continued to struggle with distinguishing sounds like ‘t’ and ‘k,’ ‘p’ and ‘t,’ and ‘t’ and ‘s’. He also encountered challenges with sounds like ‘th,’ ‘f,’ and ‘sh.’ Furthermore, he often reversed letters, impacting his reading and writing, such as reading ‘was’ as ‘saw’ and writing ‘p’ instead of ‘b’.
Communication challenges
Communication difficulties were a significant hurdle for Ryan. He found it hard to follow instructions, often grasping only the first or last part and feeling overwhelmed. This affected his participation in conversations with friends, as he struggled to comprehend the topics, leading to isolation and limited close friendships.
Academic hurdles
Ryan also faced obstacles in reading, writing, and spelling. Pronouncing wordsaccurately was challenging due to difficulties in perceiving sounds. Although he had acquired basic reading skills, comprehension lagged behind his peers, posing a barrier to his academic progress and self-confidence.
A tailored approach
To address these challenges, Ryan participated in our personalised programme. This innovative programme aimed to retrain his sound analysis and interpretation abilities, specifically targeting his auditory processing difficulties. We incorporated classical music to enhance listening skills and overall comprehension.
Remarkable results
Since beginning the auditory processing programme, Ryan’s mother has noticed remarkable changes in his behaviour. Reading, once a burdensome task, has become a source of genuine interest and enjoyment for him at home. He now spontaneously picks up books and immerses himself in reading, discovering a newfound passion. His concentration has significantly improved, and he appears more engaged in various activities. Ryan’s ability to follow teacher instructions has also seen substantial progress, consistently completing homework accurately. While occasional word and letter reversals still occur, they have become less frequent, indicating advancement in his overall reading and writing skills.
