We had talked about it for a while and it didn't seem very possible at that moment to take a photo of the whole family at the same time!
- Both Oliver and William are working and our timetables don't match very well, dad Åke explains.
So this day is exceptional and at 17h sharp all were there in Kevins home!
Oliver, who is studying for social worker and now has a job during the summer and William who studies for doctor and also doing summer work have come home for the very special moment.
- It is normally also very hard to get Kevin to stand still long enough so that a photo can be  taken in a good way, Susan says.
That we noticed as Kevin could only stay while the camera went up and before the picture was taken he was on his way out of the frame!
Well in any case we got the photo which took just a few seconds and eventually we also got the story.
First a hearing test and an intake
has been done before the listenings started.

Autism

Kevin suffers partly from autism and for this his mom wanted him to do the AIT training which is what the Berard method offers.
- I´ve had heard about it from someone and we had been thinking about it for some time before we got in contact with Berard in Sweden, Susan tells us.
The method training was done at day centre where Kevin spends most of his time and it worked out well. The staff was very kind during the ten days of sessions twice a day.
The listener himself found it sometimes amusing and sometimes emotional to sit and hear all kind of music.
- We have notices that he has changed a little bit, Susan says. The other day he made me a present and gave it to me.
According to the parents that has never happened before so they were really happy about it.
Other things that occurred were that Kevin was more calm and involved in what was happening around him.
- We don´t know yet if this is because of the training but nothing else has happened that would make these actions right now, says Åke.
So hopefully the changes have started so even if slowly at least for the better!
Berard Method thanks the whole family and the day centre and the best of wishes to all!
