Programs for Learning Difficulties
We are seeing increasingly more children with various forms of learning challenges. About 70% of those diagnosed with a 'learning disability' have an auditory processing problem. In our experience with various programs we have come to realize that most interventions do not address the auditory problems, but yet many of the available interventions rely upon the auditory system for information input. These children have a hard time performing well in a typical school environment.
At ITS Integrated Therapy Solutions, we offer a comprehensive assessment to determine exactly what kind of learning challenge is present and recommend an appropriate program for awakening listening awareness to assist with auditory processing and sequencing.
We begin with a consultation including:
- personal medical and developmental history
- school and social performance
- family history
- listening test
- LAC
- Laterality Test
Based on the finding of the above, additional testing may be indicated:
- Test of Variable Attention (TOVA)
- Test of auditory processing
- Digit Span
- Sensory Integration Profile
Our programs consist of non-invasive methods, including:
Awaken Listening using Dynamic Listening Systems, an auditory training and re-education program so that our young clients will be able to:
- analyze and decode sound
- read more fluently and remember what was read
- become more aware of his/herself and others
- focus and attend at will
- follow directions
