How Does the Therapeutic Listening Program Help Children?

This program is used to treat children who have difficulties with movement, auditory processing, perception, language and/or sensory processing. Through extensive national and international research, a common denominator was discovered among these varying conditions: problems in processing sound. To address this deficiency, therapeutic listening was developed to train the auditory system and thereby enhance listening skills, remediate auditory perceptual problems and produce significant results in a relatively short period of time among children with disabilities.

Having children listen to specifically modulated and filtered music on compact disks through headphones that provides a balanced and full range of sound frequencies, this program has demonstrated the ability to increase our capacity to treat a growing population of children who have developmental delays, sensory processing disorders, ADD/ADHD, Down syndrome, autism, poor balance and/or communication delays.
