The Listening Program® is a Music-Based Auditory Stimulation method that is used to train the auditory skills needed to effectively listen, learn, and communicate. It consists of an extensive series of high-quality audio CDs that integrate specially produced acoustic music, primarily classical, with innovative sound processing techniques. It is designed to train or re-train the ear and brain to process sound without distortion.
Possible symptoms of auditory problems are:
- Difficulty following directions
- Articulation problems
- Language problems
- Poor attention
- Poor coordination and balance
- Reading, spelling or writing difficulties
- Difficulty processing or retaining information
- Over sensitive to sound
- Easily distracted by sound
- Need constant stimulation
Who can benefit from The Listening Program ®?
Anyone can benefit from improved listening function. The Listening Program® is used by people of all ages, starting as young as two.
Whilst TLP is a substantial stand-alone sound stimulation experience, I support The Listening Program® with neurodevelopmental movements and other therapies to help promote a deeper and more rapid change.
As listening skills and the auditory system improve, you may observe changes in a number of different areas. These include:
- Better articulation and vocal quality
- Better ability to follow directions
- Improved social interaction
- Improved language skills
- Reduced sound sensitivity
- Improved balance and coordination
- Increased attention
- Improved auditory comprehension
- Improved sleep
- Improved mood
The programme can also help to raise confidence and self esteem among those pupils who find their learning difficulty a frustration and school burdensome. It can help in some cases to lift depression.
