What is the Listening Program?

The Listening Program (TLP) is a music based auditory stimulation method that trains the brain to improve the auditory skills needed to effectively listen, learn, and communicate.

It consists of an extensive series of high-quality audio CDs that integrate specially produced acoustic music, primarily classical, with innovative sound processing techniques that exercise the brain and auditory pathways.

Advanced Brain Technologies, LLC (ABT) develops the Listening Program products by building on the work of Dr. Alfred Tomatis, M.D., a pioneer in the field of auditory interventions. The ABT interdisciplinary team is comprised of experienced professionals in the therapeutic, health, neurodevelopment, education, music and sound engineering fields.

The Listening Program is available through the certified providers at Island Therapies. Contact us for more information.

Who can benefit from the Listening Program?
Anyone can benefit from improved listening function, auditory processing, and communication skills, and from relief from "toxic noise." However, at Island Therapies, we see particular benefits for children with autistic spectrum disorders, auditory processing disorders, sensory integration dysfunction, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, and auditory defensive behaviors or any other combination of language, social, communication, memory, and reading disorders.

How does the program work?
The Listening Program Classic Kit is the core of TLP. It is a home or school based program that follows a scheduled listening of one or two fifteen-minute sessions a day for 5 out of 7 days, over a course of 8 weeks to 16 weeks. Then the Kit is used again for a second cycle. Specialized headphones and a good quality CD player are needed in addition to the CD program. As your provider at Island Therapies we will help you gain the needed materials and train you in the usage and schedules specific to the individual. We will also supervise your program and answer questions and modify the program as you proceed.
