Transforming the lives of children, youth and adults everyday
90% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or Sensory Processing Disorder saw great improvement in sensory processing and motor coordination by using the Focus System home program, in addition to increased emotional regulation.*
The Focus System: Improve Brain + Body Organization
Combines auditory, balance, and movement activities to create a foundation for learning, attention, processing and behavior.
On-Demand Webinar: Focus Home Program for Families and Professionals
Learn about the Focus Home Program and how it may help improve brain function and emotional regulation. We will take a look at the benefits experienced by thousands of families, and share information on how to get started.

We can change our brain – essentially rewiring it through specific and repeated stimulation, a concept known as neuroplasticity. Similar to building strength and endurance with physical exercise, we are able to build neurological pathways and synaptic activity at any age.
HOW IT WORKS
Focus System programs provide simultaneous multisensory input to help develop new and reinforce existing pathways governing organization of the body and brain function.
Therapeutic music is delivered via iLs’ air and bone conduction headphones, providing auditory input to the brain and sensory input to the body. Movement activities, customizable for all levels, provide additional sensory and motor input for body organization. Finally, cognitive activities, added later, challenge the brain to process multiple pieces of simultaneous information, which is reflective of demands required of the brain in our day-to-day world.

A Pilot Study with STAR and Integrated Listening Systems for Children With Sensory Processing Problems
Selected Research Summary
Learn more about the science behind Unyte+iLs. Review research and case studies on Safe and Sound Protocol, Interactive Meditation iom2, Focus System and VoicePro.
“At STAR Center our therapists use iLs for a few key reasons: it can be customized to each individual’s needs, the bone conduction delivery is a wonderful vestibular supplement, and the quality of the music is remarkable… We have seen tremendous developmental growth spurts using iLs in combination with OT. iLs combined with OT seems to accelerate or “jump start” many of the children’s developmental changes. It also can have a calming effect on some children which makes it easier for our therapists to work with the child. In general, we see accelerated gains by adding iLs to OT… We use it with most of our children in clinic and we often send clients home with an iLs Focus system for continuation of therapy once their intensive short-term program is complete.”
