Abstract: Approve the "Auditory Integration Training" position statement
RESOLVED, That the policy document "Auditory Integration Training" be approved as an ASHA position statement; and further
RESOLVED, That the position statement be published in the next annual Supplement to The ASHA Leader, be posted on the Web site, be made available upon request from the ASHA Action Center, and be included in the next revision of the ASHA Desk Reference.
Rationale: In 1994, an Ad Hoc Committee prepared a technical report, “Auditory Integration Training.” In that report it was concluded that AIT had not met scientific standards for efficacy and that consumers be informed that AIT is experimental in nature. It also recommended that ASHA develop a position statement and guidelines regarding these procedures as more research findings become available. This Working Group has reviewed the current research available and concluded that AIT has not met the scientific standards for efficacy that would justify its practice by audiologists and speech language pathologists.
