Begins with an assessment:
An assessment battery that measures
listening skills, auditory processing and sensory integration
is administered. A review of the client’s sensory motor
issues, speech and language development, and educational history
is conducted. A thirty- minute consultation in person or by
phone, is included to describe and interpret assessment results
and to recommend treatment goals. A written report is also provided.We
then create an individualized program for each client to overcome
communication, behavioral or learning difficulties.
The listening program is administered
in the following manner:
31 two-hour sessions of listening-consisting
of filtered and unfiltered music and speech.
These
sessions are conducted Monday through Friday at:
1:30-3:30
p.m.
4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and
6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
The
sessions are divided into three phases:
15-day
intensive followed by a 3-5 week break
8-day intensive followed by a 3-5 week break
8-day intensive
Listening tests and family consultation
takes place after every 8 sessions to determineprogress and
to recommend home program suggestions. Based on progress, the
professional staff determines at the end of the basic program
if further treatment is recommended.A follow-up assessment is
conducted 6-12 months after the first treatment session and
includes a 30-minute consultation to review findings.
