Thereputic Listening
Therapeutic Listening® is an evidence-backed protocol that combines a sound-based intervention with sensory
integrative activities to create a comprehensive program that is effective for diverse populations with sensory
challenges. Therapeutic Listening can impact sensory modulation, attention, behavior, postural organization,
and speech and language difficulties. Trained therapists learn to use modulated CDs to set up programs for
clients in homes, schools and clinics. Listening is a function of the entire brain; when we listen, we listen
with the whole body.
