Brief summary
The current study aims to explore the preliminary efficacy of the Tomatis method on auditory processing in children with NDDs.
Detailed description
This will be a two-arm, randomized controlled trial exploring whether the Tomatis training could improve the components of auditory processing in children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders referred to a Romanian Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit. Outcomes assessment will be conducted at baseline (T1), immediately after the training (T2).
