Hi Valerie,
I train many children with cerebal palsy and all kinds of disabilities and
disorders.
I trained a 4 year old trisomic girl who was very agitated during the first
session. Then she became much calmer and focused.
I trained a 2,5 year old boy who had never slept since the day he was born and
was crying all the time. During the first session he kept on yelling. When the
music ended, he stopped and smiled. And he slept the following nights like he
had never slept and did not cry for several days. The parents decided to buy the
system right away and train at home. Since then there are many changes.
Ten days ago I gave one session to a 7 month old boy. The mother was so happy
with the changes she immediately noticed that she decided to become a trainer
and attended my course two days after.
With all these children Regular sessions are just fine. You can start with the
Initial if you think or the parents think that the child will not remain seated
for half an hour. But then parents realize their child can sit and listen to the
music for half an hour when they thought 5 minutes was already asking too much.
If you're comfortable with this, the child will be too.
