Tomatis training by itself is not an FDA approved stand-alone program (as is the case with all sound interventions) and is not recognized in the USA as a medical intervention that seeks medical reimbursement. At our center we focus on occupational and physical therapy services in an adult-child one to one ratio and we add Tomatis training as one of our many tools.
Maude Le Roux and Thierry Guajarengues completed their second training in South Africa on the Solisten Program in September 2010! Way to go, South Africa!
Dr. Alfred Tomatis is considered the father of all the sound programs available today. Though many other sound programs claim to be "Tomatis based", our Tomatis training method is his original program through the official organization (TDSA) that continues to evolve in more sophisticated and increasingly effective outcomes. Our Tomatis center is connected to the International Association of Registered Certified Tomatis Consultants (IARCTC). Maude Le Roux is a Registered and Certified Tomatis Consultant and serves on the International Board for Tomatis consultants as well as on the Research Committee. Maude is a national trainer in the US and South Africa for the Solisten® program, the official home based version containing the Tomatis effect. While TDSA is based in Luxembourgh, we are one of 12 active centers in the USA today and this is probably our most frequently used program in combination with our occupational and physical therapy services.
