WE USE SOUND AS NEUROSTIMULATION TO IMPROVE

Child in the process of listening training

AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDER (APD)
LEARNING DISABILITY (LD)
ADHD
AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD)
GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY OR SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER
VOICE QUALITY (SPEECH & SINGING)
SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Difficulty to listen is a common factor in all these issues.

Our program of sound stimulation (modified music and voice) “starts the ball rolling” in the brain - allowing development of the listening function to take shape. Improved listening has a positive impact on self-regulation, focus, learning, social adjustment and quality of life.
