Therapeutic listening is a sound-based intervention tool designed to enhance outcomes and increase self-organization within the nervous system; because the auditory system has connections to many parts of the brain, sound is a powerful way to access the nervous system and affect changes. Therapeutic Listening involves listening to specially recorded and enhanced music on headphones as part of a daily home program. The program is highly adaptable to the specific needs of the client. The choice of music, type of modulation, and individualized activity program vary depending on the treatment goals and needs of the child. Therapeutic listening is NOT a stand-alone treatment, it’s purpose it to be used as part of an established sensory diet home program.
