Therapeutic Listening Programs That Are Better Together: The Safe and Sound Protocol and Integrated Listening System

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and Integrated Listening System (ILS) are two of Unyte’s leading multisensory relationship-based programs to help guide every person to train their nervous system to be more regulated and resilient in daily life.

While professionals and their clients have traditionally leveraged the SSP or ILS independently, recent insights from healthcare professionals and their clients have suggested that there is true strength and power for building a strong foundation for function and accelerating lasting change by pairing them together.

Function starts with the nervous system

Leverage the combined power and benefits of the SSP and ILS that are two of Unyte’s leading multisensory programs helping to transform the lives of children, youth and adults around the world.

Safe and Sound Protocol: Reset, regulate and ready the nervous system

• Nurture trust from the start with a non-intrusive bottom-up approach to help facilitate an environment of safety and co-regulation.
• An invitation to regulate and open up the neural pathways with a multisensory listening program to prepare for deeper work and higher level executive functioning.
• Extend your relationship and sessions across both clinic and remote environments through an app-based digital platform.
• Maximize session time in a regulated state and lay the groundwork for other therapies.

Integrated Listening System: Organize, and build skills in sensory motor, attention, and auditory processing

• Picks up where SSP leaves off by doing the hard work to improve fine gross motor and higher-level executive and cognitive functioning.
• Improve brain and body function and organization through simultaneous sound and movement.  
• Bone conduction helps facilitate emotional regulation and sense of ‘grounding’ that encourages more focused body coordination and learning.
• Accelerate and achieve longer lasting benefits and improved confidence.
• Maximize session and personal effort by engaging clients both in-clinic and independently (guided with support)

Case Study: Combining the Safe and Sound Protocol and Integrated Listening System helps anxious teen boost confidence, resilience and self-regulation

Ren is neurodivergent and struggles to see any positives in his neurotype, which affects his self-esteem and social confidence. Within weeks of completing both the Integrated Listening System’s Optimal Performance I program and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Ren applied and interviewed for college. A few months later, he began attending college full-time, made and sustained friendships, and independently initiated a career in voice acting.
