Many individuals on the autism spectrum experience auditory processing challenges but too often these challenges may go unrecognized and/or untreated, presenting difficulties and frustrations for the individual with autism as well as family members, educators, therapists and others. Recognizing auditory processing difficulties and disorders is the first step to a treatment plan that works to ameliorate these challenges. Louise Levy treats adults and children and has extensive experience in working with individuals affected by autism with auditory processing challenges. She is one of the most highly regarded pediatric audiologists in the Tri-State area. She continues to develop skills in all audiology-related technologies, including hearing aids and assistive listening devices.
About Louise Levy
Louise Levy M.S. CCC-A received her undergraduate degree in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology from Boston University and her Master’s degree in Audiology from Teachers College, Columbia University. She was the Audiology Director of a major New York hospital for 13 years where she provided extensive diagnostic testing for adults and children. Treatment modes at the hospital included hearing aid technology, assistive listening devices and recommendations to other professionals for therapeutic interventions. After leaving the hospital, Louise continued her practice in audiology, and was a partner in a therapeutic listening program for children with special needs. This population included children with autism, sensory integration dysfunction, auditory processing deficit, craniofacial abnormalities, and global developmental delays. While working with these children and their families, she developed an expertise in auditory processing.
