What if the Person Can Not Cooperate to Obtain Audio Tests?
The Berard audio testing requires a mature level of concentration and communication. The audio testing provides information that is used in selecting whether a filter is needed during the training sessions, and therefore, must be accurate. For these reasons, Dr. Berard does not recommend this testing for children under 5 years old. If a person is not able to cooperate with audio testing, but seems to be a good candidate for AIT based on behavior and history, the training can be done without audio tests. Since the audio tests provide the basis for filter usage, no filters would be used. The modulated music has proven effective even without specific filters.
