Using sound to re-train the brain... a personalised audio training program to improve ear functioning and speed up auditory processing.

Sound education program
We all hear but do we listen?
Auditory processing issues are at the root of most learning problems.

Sound Education uses the  Tomatis Listening Integration program for all children  (and adults) who learn differently and may have a barrier in absorbing and interpreting language which effects the development of  learning.

The program works by using modified music to build a foundation of neural pathways to the centres in  the brain associated with language and balance.

Examples of children’s problems our program potentially helps:

  • An intelligent and talented  child  who  but finds  reading not  easy
  • In social situations when  the sound level is high, the child  becomes overwhelmed; confusion, then stress and anxiety follow
  • Mothers report  ‘happy at school but can’t or won’t do homework’
  • Elusive signs:  the child is not be  reading efficiently, or can read but can’t do maths, yet can have passionate knowledge on one or two interests and can talk excessively on this topic
  • Child avoids putting pen to paper – there is often  little motor control in their hands, and  their writing arm ‘fights’ the pen

See how all these issues are connected to the linking of voice, ear to brain plasticity.

SOUNDSORY MUSIC PROGRAM
After an intensive individualised program, expect improvement in:
  • Communication skills: expressive language and receptive listening
  • Attention and behaviour
  • Reading, comprehension
  • Better balanced energy levels and relaxation
  • Coordination on all levels
  • Brain functioning, specifically better balance between cognition and emotional sides
  • Stress symptoms, e.g.:
    • poor sleep patterns
    • picky eating
    • allergies, high tactile and sound sensitivities
    • headaches, stomach pains
    • aggressive or passive behaviours

All these issues become manageable or disappear as the body/mind comes into a new balance and control.

Tomatis Method TalksUp®

Home program for communication and mental health issues.
Using a structured modified music program  to stimulate the muscles in the inner ear one which is a major factor in improving the auditory laterality and  the main connections to improving attention and concentration. Tomatis began treating a number of other problems with the same methods, including reading problems, dyslexia, depression, severe schizophrenia, and even autism. He found evidence that many of these problems result from a failure of communication, which has to do with listening and the ear.

Children or adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) exhibit difficulties in several functions involving social interaction, communication, and behaviour. Nevertheless, a service cantered on the Tomatis ® Method can help people with autism and other related difficulties by awakening and establishing the desire to communicate and learn through auditory and listening training.
Nature of the program
Listening to modified music for 80 minutes per day in blocks of 14-day intensive periods. with breaks of 4-8 week  between for integration . As the program develops intensive times may reduce to  8 days and are spread out eight weeks to three months. This is the active phase and is when the development of the voice takes place and will depend on the clients interests and skills are developed.

Ideal time of devise time for radical changes is  60-100 hours taken over 12-18 months.

Evidence based assessments are done at the beginning and end of each  intensive period.

Role of consultant is to assess, guide, mentor and foster empowerment in  the trauma and psychological issues this can underlying and be important as the brain starts to self-regulate.
