About our Sound Therapy Program
Sound Therapy is an auditory based training program that uses specially designed music and Bone Conduction headphones to effect change. The goal of Sound Therapy is to develop the building blocks of learning i.e. those physiological systems which play a key role in our ability to receive, process, and express information. Our iLs Sound Therapy Program utilizes a Multi-Sensory approach to what Dr. Tomatis called "The three integrators" - the auditory, visual and vestibular (balance) systems. The vestibular system controls all the muscles of the body including the eye muscle. With highly specialized gated and filtered music, we are re-training the brain to become more efficient and effective, and in the process strengthening neural connections to improve performance.

ADULTWhy is it Superior to other sound therapy programs?

What makes our Integrated Listening Program so unique and effective is the use of bone conduction headphones and the way we combine movement, listening and visual stimulation in each of our sessions. Bone Conduction headphones are important because it delivers low frequencies that balance the high frequencies, which can sometimes be over-stimulation for sensitive children; Bone Conduction has a calming, grounding effect on both children and adults. Bone Conduction provides unique vestibulo-cochlear stimulation that delivers results superior to non-bone conduction systems; it is, arguably, the most important aspect of any clinic-level auditory program.

The reason we combine movement, listening and visual stimulation is that these three systems are vital to our ability to learn, pay attention, process information, and coordinate movement. As these three systems are so interrelated, "exercising" them simultaneously is a holistic approach which requires the brain to become better at integrating multi-sensory information. Years of clinical evidence show clearly that simultaneous multi-sensory stimulation yields better results for a broader variety of clients than "listening therapy" alone.
