Integrated Listening on Coffee Klatch Radio Show

[Guest guest]

Hi Friends,I have seen so much talk about AIT on this list that I just wanted to share info about my favorite listening therapy. I have a home unit of iLs and I was able to get my kiddo off 4 meds, he soared in academics, articulation, volume of speech, social skills, auditory and sensory processing. Plus he made the middle school baseball team. No one thought he would ever be able to drive or have the success in life as he has has so far. He is now a freshman in college going into physical therapy. He not only drives but delivers pizza. He made major leaps at 14 from using iLs and I owe all his success to iLs. The key is we used our home unit a several days a week for over a year. One program was not enough. Dr. Ron Minson, from Integrated Listening Systems was interviewed on the Coffee Klatch radio show last night. If you missed it Listen to Dr Ron Minson interview any time on #BTR http://t.co/wdwc9ekT or free on itunes.Integrated Listening Systems is a flexible and family friendly auditory listening combined with a movement program and optional vocal component that can be used in HOME (with support of a coach), school or clinic. The music is specially treated with gating, filtering and bone conduction which when combined with movement improves neuroplasticity to the greatest degree. Listening is best when used over an extended amount of time. Then refreshers after growth spurts or sickness or before big events like sports tryouts or tests.ILs has free parent or professional webinars so you can learn more about this therapy.Register here http://www.integratedlistening.com/training/ils-webinars/ or ask for a previously recorded session link.I love this therapy and used it for all 3 of my kids with ASD, ADHD and SPD. Plus I used it for my own ADHD and it worked wonders. I hope you will check it out so your family can have the same benefit mine did.Take care, Read more:The iLs DifferenceiLs management draws from 18 years of experience in the field of listening therapy, over half of which have involved manufacturing high-end sound equipment. Sound + Movement + Visual > Sound Alone: iLs programs integrate visual tracking, movement and balance activities with an auditory component. By simultaneously engaging senses which are neurologically interconnected, we are training the key areas involved in information processing. Prior to this multi-sensory approach, we used “listening” therapy alone for many years. Our own experience, as well as that of hundreds of clinicians, shows clearly that a combined approach delivers better results with a broader spectrum of clients.Sound Delivery: The iLs Pro and Focus Systems deliver sound via both air and bone conduction (BC). BC provides unique vestibular stimulation that delivers results superior to non-bone conduction systems. It is arguably the most important aspect of any clinic-level auditory program. While BC headphones add significant cost to an auditory program, they deliver low frequencies that are particularly important for sensory integration. BC also provides a counter-balance to higher frequencies, which can sometimes be over-stimulating for sensitive children. For both children and adults, BC has a calming, grounding effect.Equipment Quality & Support: By utilizing iPods, the iLs system eliminates skipping and scratching of CD’s and provides freedom of movement. iLs’ custom built amplifiers and headphones are designed to withstand the stress of OT gyms and active children. All components are rechargeable and do not require batteries.Music Quality: Music quality is important in terms of the user’s experience as well as the frequency rage represented in each session. iLs equipment – from cabling to custom mini-amplifier – delivers sound quality which is unmatched by any therapeutic sound provider.Programming & Customization: Each person is unique, and client customization is one of the most important aspects of choosing a sound program. All iLs programs are created for specific therapeutic goals, allowing providers to be more prescriptive in their approach. Over 200 hours of processed music is provided to ensure maximum customization capability with minimal repetition.Expressive Language: Output and input are integrally related. As in a feedback loop, one facilitates the other. iLs’ Expressive Language Program addresses specific aspects of auditory processing including decoding, sequencing of sounds, auditory memory, auditory figure ground and dichotic listening.********* 29:11*********"The only limits one has, are the limits one sets."
