Welcome to Unyte Health
Unyte Health’s programs integrate music, movement and language exercises for the purpose of improving brain function. Unyte programs are designed to be fun, and may be used on their own or in conjunction with other methods.
We train for brain/body integration through a staged approach, starting with the fundamentals of sensory integration and then extending through more complex cognitive functions, including language, self-expression and social skills.
“What we are doing, by targeting subcortical functions, is improving brain organization from the bottom up.”
Ron Minson, MD, iLs Clinical Director, in The Brain’s Way of Healing by Norman Doidge, MD
HOW IT WORKS
Unyte programs are based on the fact that we can change our brain – we can essentially re-wire it through specific and repeated stimulation, a concept known as neuroplasticity. As in building strength and endurance with physical exercise, we are able to build neurological pathways and synaptic activity at any age.
Family of Tools:
Safe and Sound Protocol™ (SSP)
Training and supervision required
Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the SSP is a five-day intervention designed to reduce stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience.
By calming the behavioral and physiological state, further therapy is enhanced or even accelerated. The SSP is ideal as an introductory therapy for those experiencing high levels of stress, especially related to trauma, autism and anxiety, as well as those with auditory sensitivities.
Application: trauma and anxiety, auditory hypersensitivity, inattention, behavioral dysregulation, difficulty with social communication, preparation for therapy
Focus™ System
Training or supervision required
The Focus System is a multi-sensory program which combines auditory, balance and visual exercises. All Focus systems include music programs loaded onto an iTouch, air/bone conduction headphones, and Integration Kit (movement and balance equipment and guidebook). The Focus Series allows clinicians and educators to select specific programs to be loaded onto the iPod for their clients’ needs.
Applications: sensory processing and body organization, learning/academic and attention difficulties, symptoms related to ASD, cognitive efficiency and poor memory, head injury and stroke rehab
VOICEPRO™
Training or supervision required
The VoicePro is an exciting and unique tool designed to help children and adults improve various auditory processing skills.
The VoicePro is applicable for all ages and abilities relevant to: articulation, phonemic awareness, auditory memory, auditory figure ground and dichotic listening. Therapists working with children on the autism spectrum also use the VoicePro as an effective social training tool.
Applications: auditory processing, receptive and expressive language skills, social engagement, reading/literacy instruction, language and vocal training
WHERE ARE UNYTE HEALTH PROGRAMS MOST EFFECTIVE?
Learning & Attention
The iLs Focus Series is customizable for each individual. Programs influence learning, reading, motor skills, attention and emotional regulation, speech, auditory and sensory processing. Learn more.
Autism & Developmental Difficulties
iLs’ customized programs can be tailored for skill and abilities. Symptoms addressed include: emotional regulation, social skills, anxiety, auditory and sensory processing, attention, concentration and sleep. Learn more.
Cognitive function
iLs is used by students, athletes and professionals of all ages to achieve better attention, mental acuity and motor coordination. Learn more.
Clinical practice and research show iLs to be uniquely effective in the four following areas:
- EMOTIONAL/PHYSICAL SELF-REGULATION: regulates both physical and emotional state
- SELF-CONFIDENCE/SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT: supports confidence, motivation and desire to engage/communicate with others
- SENSORY INTEGRATION: process sensory input easily
- LANGUAGE & COGNITIVE PROCESSING: improves receptive/expressive language, reading and higher executive functions
