    I believe that sound therapy has enabled my little girl to reach her potential. She is now five years old and has a diagnosis of autism and a speech disorder. However, the progress she has made since attending Cluas is beyond belief. She is still the same little girl, but she now has the ability to function within society. Her language, coordination, and social skills have all improved, which has in turn increased her happiness and willingness to partake in activities with her peers. I highly recommend this therapy, and all of the team were extremely supportive throughout the process.

    I cannot thank enough Ronan and the whole team for the work and help they gave to my son. At the beginning of this journey I wasn’t really grasping the whole concept of Auditory processing issues, but after seeing the results in my son listening and understanding, I was shocked and positively impressed. School also gave a very positive outcome. Highly recommended for helping kids with wide range of difficulties. Super professional, kind and helpful.

    I had the Parent Teacher meeting today where I met his teacher and his support teacher. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, more than I have ever received to date. They noted that when he is taken out of class for comprehension he is the top performer amongst peers. 

    They acknowledged the history of TJ’s shutting down and going into the freeze mode but noted this was not something that had remotely observed since the start of September, which I’ll admit I was shocked by (in a good way).

    So all in all they are very happy with his progress even since September, his participation in class etc. and are seeing a marked improvement in his fluency of reading. The only negative was he tended to drift off so we need to watch the attention span.

    Our experience with Cluas, after engaging Ronan and the team to assist our son with his delayed speech development, was first-class. From the very start we were impressed by their responsiveness and professionalism. We felt, in particular, that they really tried to understand our particular situation and the specific speech challenges our son has faced. The appointments were never rushed and Ronan was a constant source of support and advice throughout. Our son has made undeniable progress and we’re now much more optimistic about his long-term development than we were previously. We’d recommend Cluas highly to other parents.

    Cluas has been absolutely wonderful for my 8 year old son. Hugh had speech delay and was diagnosed as having dyspraxia and ASD.  Hugh attended private speech therapy and public but he wasn’t improving. Hugh also found it hard to mix in the school yard. After the initial consultation with Ronan we found out this was because he didn’t know what direction sounds were coming from or hear voices over background noise.  

    We had great fun doing all the activities while he was wearing the head phones and in a matter of months Hugh was speaking perfectly. He got a brilliant report in school whereas 1 year previously we had just received his diagnosis and were very concerned about his future. Ronan can tailor the programme to suit your child’s needs. As soon as Hugh speech became perfect we concentrated on his social skills.  

    A huge difference has been made in terms of speech and social skills and confidence in Hugh. He is doing so well now and we also have the support of Cluas which has been brilliant. I would recommend this programme to every parent as it really helps children and can be the support to help them reach milestones they may not have met otherwise. It has helped us so much and I am extremely grateful. We will have Hugh assessed again but we are fairly sure his diagnosis will be revoked. We are so happy and I cannot thank Cluas enough.

    ‘’…The first meeting with Ronan opened our awareness to sensory issues and we began our journey of learning the ways we could support Daniel. Daniel began the Cluas at home sound therapy programme in June. After the first stage we could see so much improvement in Daniel’s play, eye contact, listening and concentration skills…”

    Daniel aged 2 1\2 had few words. His attention was very poor. Daniel wouldn’t respond to his name when being called. His interactions with his family, relatives and peers were poor. He would get extremely upset and frustrated throwing himself on the floor and banging his head. He lived in his own world and would only communicate in his own way if he needed something. 

    Cluas was recommended to us by a friend. Ronan was a fantastic support from the beginning. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed as we shared our concerns about Daniel. The first meeting with Ronan opened our awareness to sensory issues and we began our journey of learning the ways we could support Daniel. Daniel began the Cluas at home sound therapy programme in June. After the first stage we could see so much improvement in Daniel’s play, eye contact, listening and concentration skills. Words started to be spoken. 

    Daniel has completed the 3 stages and his interactions and relationships with us have improved immensely. He now plays with his parents and older sister. He interacts with relatives. His voice can be heard with a lot of singing tones and words. There is a very happy boys laughter with lots of fun and enjoyment in our lives today compared to when he was just in his own world. 

    Daniel started preschool in his creche in September and has settled into this group change extremely positively. He is engaging better with staff and peers. 

    There are so many positive things we can say about Ronan and the Cluas programme and would have no difficulty recommending it. Thank you Ronan for all your help and support.

    Adam was 3 and had very few words compared to his classmates and friends. He was continually frustrated and it was beginning to affect his confidence and his ability to make friends. 

    After the initial meeting with Ronan, he began the Sound therapy program and by the end of the first round of sessions there was a world of improvement. Now, after completing 3 rounds, he has gone from being so shy and reluctant to try to talk or join in in playschool to being a happy boy who will now chat all day long about anything and everything. 

    I cannot recommend Cluas or Ronan enough, he has been an absolute joy to work with. He has such a kind and wonderful demeanour that every time I told Adam it was time to go see Ronan he was so excited, and now he can voice his excitement. We will never be able to thank Ronan enough for everything he has done for Adam.

    Louise was 3 when we discovered Cluas. She had very few words compared to her peers and her attention was very limited. After the initial meeting with Ronan, we started the Cluas program and Louise’s listening ability and conversation skills have improved dramatically since. Week on week, we are seeing more and more improvements. 

    We are so glad that we decided to do the sound therapy with Ronan as our little girl has come on in leaps and bounds. We cannot say enough good things about the program and the people in Cluas. The professionalism, support and attention to detail from Ronan and his team was excellent throughout the process. 

    We would have no hesitation in recommending Cluas to others. 

    Thank you Ronan for your help.

    Cathal was 2 and half when we discovered Cluas. He had very few words ( under 50) and his attention was very limited. We had brought him to speech and language therapists from 20 months old with very little progress. 

    Cluas has helped transform all our lives. 

    Our little boy is now thriving. His language is improving everyday but more importantly so is his confidence, concentration and overall happiness. 

    We found Cluas to be a safe place for all of us. Ronan only offered solutions and guidance and never jumped to conclusions or diagnosis. 

    He has worked tirelessly to help Cathal in every aspect of his life and we can see the growth and his endless potential everyday, 

    Cathal is now 3 and started playschool in September. He has settled in very well and his language skills are improving everyday. He now has 2/3 word sentences with 5 word sentences occasionally. His understanding has increased 100%. He has great concentration skills now and he is learning new skill rapidly. 

    We are very grateful to Ronan and his team for their support and treatment.
