Testimonial received on 24 May 2017

Archibald has a developmental delay, and alongside the help he already receives, I decided to try the Tomatis Method.

During his listening sessions, Archibald draws. I noticed that, as the days went by, his drawings filled out. They became more complex, with subjects I wasn't used to seeing him draw.

This is great progress, and I am very pleased. I have allowed Mr Frère to reproduce some of these drawings on his website, so that you can see how he has progressed. I hope they will encourage other mothers facing difficulties like mine.

Anne K., Geneva, Switzerland.

Here is the first drawing. The subject is very simple: a little man.

The second drawing, after 3 days of listening, shows a few more details. He has started to write MA…

The third drawing, after 5 days of listening: he draws several subjects, with more colours.

The fourth drawing, halfway through his second week of listening, in paint and full of colour.

The fifth drawing is one of the last, from the end of the treatment, on the 13th day of listening. The subject is complex, with far more detail.
