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.

“…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.

“We attended over a number of months and took the programme very seriously at home, following all the advice Ronan gave us to get the best out of it.

My son was almost 7 when we decided to go to Cluas. He has been very sensitive to noise since he was a baby and was diagnosed with sensory processing difficulties at 3 years old. We attended occupational therapy to help with his sensory challenges, which helped greatly, but the one area there was no improvement, was his auditory processing difficulties. He was unable to filter out the noises around him and found the world a very overwhelming place. This became an even bigger issue when he started primary school, facing a noisy class and yard every day. We went to Ronan in Cluas to see if he could help. We attended over a number of months and took the programme very seriously at home, following all the advice Ronan gave us to get the best out of it. Gradually, we started to notice improvements in his ability to filter out noise. By the end of the programme, going into a supermarket, a coffee shop or any noisy environment was no longer a source of immense overwhelm and stress. His behaviour began to improve at home and school and we started to notice a consistent level of calm about him. The changes were very clear to see and we have no doubt it was because he did the listening programme with Ronan in Cluas. We can’t thank Ronan enough and would recommend to parents trying to seek help for their child.

“Our son has made undeniable progress and we’re now much more optimistic about his long-term development than we were previously. We’d recommend Cluas highly to other parents.”
Our experience with Cluas, after engaging Ronan and the team to assist our son with his delayed speech development, was first-class. From the very start we were impressed by their responsiveness and professionalism. We felt, in particular, that they really tried to understand our particular situation and the specific speech challenges our son has faced. The appointments were never rushed and Ronan was a constant source of support and advice throughout. Our son has made undeniable progress and we’re now much more optimistic about his long-term development than we were previously. We’d recommend Cluas highly to other parents.

Cluas has been absolutely wonderful for my 8 year old son. Hugh had speech delay and was diagnosed as having dyspraxia and ASD. Hugh attended private speech therapy and public but he wasn’t improving. Hugh also found it hard to mix in the school yard. After the initial consultation with Ronan we found out this was because he didn’t know what direction sounds were coming from or hear voices over background noise.
We had great fun doing all the activities while he was wearing the head phones and in a matter of months Hugh was speaking perfectly. He got a brilliant report in school whereas 1 year previously we had just received his diagnosis and were very concerned about his future. Ronan can tailor the programme to suit your child’s needs. As soon as Hugh speech became perfect we concentrated on his social skills.
A huge difference has been made in terms of speech and social skills and confidence in Hugh. He is doing so well now and we also have the support of Cluas which has been brilliant. I would recommend this programme to every parent as it really helps children and can be the support to help them reach milestones they may not have met otherwise. It has helped us so much and I am extremely grateful. We will have Hugh assessed again but we are fairly sure his diagnosis will be revoked. We are so happy and I cannot thank Cluas enough.
