Auditory integration training for children with autism : no behavioral benefits detected . Auditory integration training and a control treatment were provided for 16 children with autism in a crossover experimental design . Measures , blind to treatment order , included parent and teacher ratings of behavior , direct observational recordings , IQ , language , and social/adaptive tests . Significant differences tended to show that the control condition was superior on parent-rated measures of hyperactivity and on direct observational measures of ear-occlusion . No differences were detected on teacher-rated measures . Children 's IQs and language comprehension did not increase , but adaptive/social behavior scores and expressive language quotients decreased . The majority of parents ( 56 % ) were unable to report in retrospect when their child had received auditory integration training . No individual child was identified as benefiting clinically or educationally from the treatment .
