| Description |
Listening plays a vital role in the sensory integration process. In fact, some believe that the auditory system is the ‘missing link’ in sensory integration modalities. Both research and clinical experience have shown that using sound-based interventions for clients with sensory processing difficulties can increase treatment effectiveness.
In this two-day workshop, you will learn to use Therapeutic Listening modulated audio selections (available on CDs or digital music players) to create individualized, home-based programs for clients. You will also learn how to implement Therapeutic Listening strategies in conjunction with postural, respiratory, and sensory activities. The course will take you through all of the steps--from assessment to outcomes--for creating complete Therapeutic Listening programs. Video case presentations will be used to illustrate points and show changes in individuals with listening and other sensory processing difficulties.Upon completion, participants will be able to:
• Describe the relationship between listening and sensory integration.
• Identify individuals with sensory processing and listening difficulties
who may respond well to Therapeutic Listening.
• Create Therapeutic Listening programs that are adapted to meet
specific needs of individual clients.
• Demonstrate understanding of the role of postural, respiratory, and
sensory strategies that are part of the Therapeutic Listening program.
