interested to hear what exercises you are doing improving,my boy has poor auditory memory processing but was dx'd AS.
He does ballet.
Anything I can do to help?

cross crawl - walking touching right hand to left knee and vv,
lazy 8 - do a sideways figure of 8 in air with your finger, followng it with eyes across the midpoint if that makes sense - meant ot help connection sin brain between left and right side
double doodle - drawing imaginary or real large pictures with arms mirroring each other - again meant ot hlep connection left/right

balance things - learn to use swing

and also various memory games

Lookin gon internet I have come across 'The Listening Programme' - music at different frequencies to retune brain apparently - but noone seems to have any experience of it ...

this behavioural optometrist also does sound therapy in his practice and has had quite a lot of success, I believe.
