    At 4 years old our daughter was in a world of her own. She could speak but couldn’t hold a simple conversation and relied on scripts to communicate with us. If she wanted milk she would say “Do you want milk?”. We didn’t know what was going on and worried about it constantly. We googled of course and read about assessments that cost a lot. We were very worried about what would happen when she started primary school.

    By chance we saw an article about Cluas. We didn’t really think sound therapy would help but we liked the idea of the initial consultation where someone who works with children could hang out with her for a couple of hours. We didn’t want a report we just wanted to understand what was going on.

    That’s exactly what happened. Ronan explained sensory processing disorder to us and how audio processing works. We asked a lot of questions. We were very skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. He was very patient.

    The first time she put on the headphones she shouted “wow, this is amazing!”. She called it doing ‘DJ’. Scripts dramatically reduced after the first 2 weeks. She started trying to talk to us. Of course we wondered could it just be chance. Maybe things would have improved without the headphones. But then there were similar step changes after the other stages of sound therapy. Primary school started very well and only we really know that there was such a transformation in the last few months.

    Exceptional care and consideration for my daughter, who was struggling to filter sounds in a busy classroom — ultimately impacting her concentration & learning. The sound therapy seems to have improved this significantly & we are very happy with the Cluas approach.

    Brought my daughter to see Ronan, she has asd and is non verbal, before we started the program my daughters sleep was terrible, which has greatly improved. She is now considered pre-verbal . She is way more engaging also. We have found the program extremely helpful and worth it for us as a family .

    I believe that sound therapy has enabled my little girl to reach her potential. She is now five years old and has a diagnosis of autism and a speech disorder. However, the progress she has made since attending Cluas is beyond belief. She is still the same little girl, but she now has the ability to function within society. Her language, coordination, and social skills have all improved, which has in turn increased her happiness and willingness to partake in activities with her peers. I highly recommend this therapy, and all of the team were extremely supportive throughout the process.

    I cannot thank enough Ronan and the whole team for the work and help they gave to my son. At the beginning of this journey I wasn’t really grasping the whole concept of Auditory processing issues, but after seeing the results in my son listening and understanding, I was shocked and positively impressed. School also gave a very positive outcome. Highly recommended for helping kids with wide range of difficulties. Super professional, kind and helpful.

    “… I was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia. Since completing the programme with Ronan, I have seen vast improvements in these symptoms. Ronan is clearly knowledge in all areas of neurodiversity and I have learned a lot from him…”

    I was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia at 47 years of age. One main area of impairment that effects my life on a daily basis is severe noise sensitivity. This leads to exhaustion by afternoon and burn out, often manifesting physically with muscular pain in my back, neck and shoulders.

    Since completing the programme with Ronan, I have seen vast improvements in these symptoms. Ronan is clearly knowledge in all areas of neurodiversity and I have learned a lot from him. He is professional at all times, empathetic and invested in finding a program to suit my needs. I cannot recommend the adult program enough.

    “…The feedback from school was overwhelmingly positive, more than I have ever received to date…They are very happy with his progress even since September: his participation in class etc. and are seeing a marked improvement in his fluency of reading…”

    I had the Parent Teacher meeting today where I met his teacher and his support teacher. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, more than I have ever received to date. They noted that when he is taken out of class for comprehension he is the top performer amongst peers. 

    They acknowledged the history of TJ’s shutting down and going into the freeze mode but noted this was not something that had remotely observed since the start of September, which I’ll admit I was shocked by (in a good way).

    So all in all they are very happy with his progress even since September, his participation in class etc. and are seeing a marked improvement in his fluency of reading. The only negative was he tended to drift off so we need to watch the attention span.

    Daniel, age 14 – Auditory Processing Difficulties

    “…I hadn’t fully grasped the extent to which Daniels auditory processing challenges were affecting his life… It’s not an exaggeration to say that Ronan and team have given him a gift that he will carry with him for his whole life”

    On the advice of his OT, my 14 year old son completed an auditory program at Cluas in 2024. Having undertaken many interventions over the year, relating to Daniels sensory processing disorder, with fairly limited success, I was reasonably sceptical about the potential change that the Cluas program would achieve. I assumed that any improvement in Daniels capacity to cope with auditory processing would be marginal and perhaps hard to quantify. I was absolutely delighted to be proven wrong! Daniel has undergone a profound change in how he experiences sound. It has moved from overwhelming and chaotic to ordered and enjoyable. In real terms this means that he has gone from: being anxious and tuned out in noisy family restaurants, to relaxed and chatty. From leaving the teenage disco’s early because he found it oppressively loud, to participating in nightly Céilí’s and discos at the Gaeltacht without any difficulty. From being disengaged and inattentive in class, to coming home talking about what the teacher said. To fights every night over homework, to sitting down to homework with a sense of purpose because he knows what happened in class today. I hadn’t fully grasped the extent to which Daniels auditory processing challenges were affecting his life and I am utterly grateful that he had the opportunity to attend Cluas. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Ronan and team have given him a gift that he will carry with him for his whole life.
