The Focus System and Star Institute
The Focus System is more than just a listening therapy. As a truly multi-sensory program, The Focus System integrates sound with movement.
The Focus System 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.
“And then 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, MA/CCC-SLP
Unyte Home Program
The Unyte Home Program supports your use of The Focus System and SSP at home, whether you are doing the program on your own or supplementing a clinical program. This listening therapy program provides you with equipment through a rental plan as well as a personal coach who monitors your program via phone and email.
The program is both fun and challenging, and it can be customized for any skill level. While our programs are not complicated to implement at home, it does require commitment, planning and some guidance. To ensure you have a successful experience, instruction and supervision are included in the price of the program.
DREAMPAD™
Each Dreampad™ delivers music through gentle, calming vibration which only you can hear. The process brings about a relaxation response from the body and mind which has been described in some feedback as a “massage to the nervous system.”
Dreampad has been shown to reduce stress, improve sleep, decrease sensory hypersensitivity, and is acceptable for all ages.
