Therapeutic listening and Samonas Sound Therapy is a program utilizing sound simulation through music. Electronically filtered CD’s are heard through high quality head phones on a portable CD player. These CD’s are designed to directly target both the auditory (hearing) and the vestibular (sense of movement and body awareness) systems. Sound training can be a powerful tool not only affecting the auditory/vestibular system, but also having an impact on other areas of the brain. Bone conduction listening may be recommended for some individuals in the clinic setting.

### What Changes may occur with Therapeutic Listening?

- Improves attention and ability to focus
- Enhances speech/language skills
- Improves self-regulation and sensory modulation
- Sleep/wake cycles
- Improves social/emotional skills
- Decreases sound sensitivity
- Enhances balance and coordination skills

#### Length and Frequency of Sessions

Each program is individually designed by a trained therapist. Listening sessions may be 1-2 x a day, lasting 5-30 minutes as a home program. The duration of the program can vary depending on the needs of the child.
