THERAPEUTIC LISTENING

Therapeutic Listening is a sound-based intervention that is designed to use during therapy.  The music is electronically modified to naturally encourage attention, activate body movement and to help organize a child’s nervous system.  A dynamic, individualized plan is developed based upon the child’s response to the program.
