ILS vs listening programs

[Guest guest]

Hi IrisI am not sure what the listening program is, but ILS is a more complete form of Tomatis (the traditional auditory stimulation program). The child is exposed to filtered classical music by using a headset that includes the bone conduction (3rd ear) in the head. It combines auditory, with visual and mobility stimulation, so the child's brain creates more connections as the ear gets a workout and starts hearing and understanding better. The child need to do a variety of exercise while "listening" to the music. It will therefore assist in speech difficulties, as the child hears better. It is an interesting program that targets the brain, so it is worthy checking it out. I sent the website in my previous post but I will copy and paste it again just in case, in the website you can find ILS

practitioners in your area and possibly contact them to discuss how they can individually put a program together for your child and how they can help you. Good luck !JanetFrom: Iris von Birgelen <irisvonbirgelen@...> Sent: Sat, May 28, 2011 6:31:13 PMSubject: RE: Introduction

For sensory and speech I would highly recommend ILS (Integrated Listening Systems), we have been doing the therapy since January with great results, not only in speech but also in understanding, balance, etc). You can go to their website and read all about it...http://www.integratedlistening.com/. There is probably of good benefit to also start a reflex integration program, have you child been evaluated for this?, all the bestJanet

Hello All,

My name is Heidi and I reside in Spring Hill, FL. My daughter Bree is 4 years old and was diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder. We went through occupational, speech and communication therapy at All Children's in Pasco for 2 years. Bree started school for her speech impairment at the age 3 part time. This school year has been full days Monday - Friday.I stumbled into this group when I was on Dr. Masgutova's website. My daughter is regressing and I feel it is because she is now challenged with so much more in life. I was hoping to meet others that may have or is going through what I am and could possibly give me some suggestions on what therapies really have improved with their children.

I feel very grateful to have found this group.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

Heidi
