Integrated Listening System
What is "integrated" listening and how can it help?
Integrated listening programs combine the therapeutic value of listening therapy with specific visual and balance activities. This combination trains the brain to process and manage multi-sensory input. Many people are unable to process sensory information in an efficient manner. These programs improve learning and life performance by helping to normalize the way you process and integrate sensory information.
Can we really change brain function?
Yes, the ability of the brain to change or adapt is called "neuroplasticity". It is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life.
Why combine movement, listening, and visual stimulation?
The three systems are vital to our ability to learn, pay attention, process information, and coordinate movement. As these systems are so interrelated, "excercising" them simultaneously is a holistic approach which requires the brain to become better at integrating multi-sensory information. We are essentially re-training the brain to become more efficient and effective, and in the process strengthening neural connections to improve performance.
Who can benefit from this program?
iLS addresses many areas. Those with defecits in the any of the following are likely to benefit from use of the program.
- attention
- auditory processing
- reading/learning
- pitch discrimination/phonemic awareness
- self esteem
- alertness, focus, energy
