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.
iLs trains 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.
LEARN HOW iLs CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO YOUR PRACTICE IN ATLANTA, GA ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2016!
Clinical Applications
A variety of clinicians incorporate iLs into their practice because it provides a means to enhance sensory input while continuing to address targeted goals, increasing attention and focus with directed tasks. The multi-tasking required with adding iLs as a therapeutic modality is more intensive within a shorter time frame and progress can come at a much faster rate. The iLs program is an effective intervention on its own or may be implemented as a dynamic and integral component of a range of other therapies, including behavioral, relationship-based, sensory and bio-medical methods.
Most people who complete an iLs program do not need to repeat it to maintain their gains. Program gains typically “stick” and regression is rare. Having said that, many people can continue to see improvement by doing additional Integrated Listening Therapy. The more severe the difficulty, the more likely one can benefit from a 2nd or 3rd program.
