Therapeutic Listening is a home-based program designed to help individuals improve their ability to participate and learn in their everyday environments. Active listening is a dynamic and continually adapting process by, not only the auditory system, but the whole body. So, how a child listens impacts his/her overall physiology as well as behavior.

Therapeutic Listening helps those who have difficulty with processing sensory information, listening, attention and communication by giving the listener unique and precisely controlled sensory information to highlight the sounds that naturally capture attention and activate body movement. It is a highly individualized music-based tool that activates listening to help people tune-in to and respond to their world.
