We can send home a CD or you
may listen directly from this our
website:
http://autism.loni.ucla.edu/
We would like for you to start off
by playing the cd at a low volume
while your child is doing a
preferred activity. Day by day,
slowly increase the volume level
until your child can tolerate the
noise at a high level.
NOTE: Always play the noise
while your child is sleeping during
a preferred activity.
Your child does not have to wear both earplugs and headphones.
But, he does have to wear at least one.
Please start desensitizing him in
advance.
-Work while your child is in a
preferred environment or doing a
preferred activity.
-Let your child choose which one
they would prefer.
First, introduce the item
Then, let your child hold them
while you show your child how
the item works
Finally, use the item properly.
HINT: You could even use the item yourself to show your child that it is OK
