Therapeutic Listening

Therapeutic Listening is a comprehensive, multi-faceted sound-based approach that involves much more than just the ears. Like other sensory systems, the auditory system does not work in isolation. Neurologically it is connected to all levels of brain function and as a result, it has a vast range of influence. How we listen impacts not only our overall physiology but also our behavior.

Benefits

When used appropriately in combination with additional sensory applications, Therapeutic Listening has been found to assist in the attainment of skills such as:

• Praxis, motor planning, bilateral coordination, and fine motor skills.
• Focus and attention.
• Self-regulation.
• Organized behavior.
• Postural control.
• Oral motor skills and articulation.
