iLs is more than just a listening therapy. As a truly multi-sensory program, iLs integrates sound with movement.
iLs is 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.
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.
“iLs came around and we thought, ‘Oh, my goodness, this is what we’ve been looking for. This is that magic tool in our kit.’”
– Jill Sengbusch, iLs Practitioner, MA/CCC-SLP
