Listening Therapy

Cornerstone incorporates an effective listening therapy program into our therapy sessions that helps to build neurological pathways through auditory, visual, and vestibular systems to maximize brain development. We utilize Integrated Listening System (iLs) and have found it to be a very effective treatment program. The goal of listening therapy is to improve the neurophysiological foundation for integrating sensory input by using specific sound frequencies and patterns to stimulate the brain. Research has proven its effectiveness for a broad spectrum of diagnoses including Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Sensory Processing Disorder, Reading and Handwriting difficulties, Coordination Dysfunction, and many others. This program compliments Cornerstone Pediatric Center’s brain-based therapy approach to treating children with special needs as well as other functional difficulties. We consistently see significant improvements with our patients in areas of communication, attention, speech and language, auditory processing, bilateral integration, and motor coordination through the use of iLs when used in conjunction with our sensory based treatment strategies.
