The Listening Program works remarkably well to soothe my anxiety symptoms. Within the first week of using it, I began to fall asleep and wake up in a calmer state. I was no longer plagued by a cascade of alarming thoughts and nervous system responses. I no longer experienced mini panic attacks throughout the day. I no longer felt as though I were in danger at all times. Even my appetite became more stable. The music seemed to sever the connection between my thoughts and my physical alarms, granting me a much-needed sense of calm.

“As a busy mom with five children, I am always on the lookout for innovative solutions to support my family’s well-being. The Listening Program has been a game-changer for us. It has made a significant difference in my son Lance’s developmental delays and ADHD, and it’s helped my other children’s academic, emotional, and social needs. The program is easy to incorporate into our daily routine and has become an integral part of our lives for over ten years. I have even seen it work wonders for my grandma after her stroke. I can’t recommend TLP enough and am forever grateful for the positive impact it has had on our family.”

My 3-year-old twins Margaret and Elizabeth were both diagnosed with autism. The girls embraced using The Listening Program and quickly experienced bursts in their language and social skills. It calmed their sensory sensitivities and sharpened their thinking skills. Margaret, once diagnosed with autism, now thrives as a typically developing child. Elizabeth’s improved communication skills have fostered deeper connections with those around her. The journey with TLP has defied the initial prognosis and exceeded our expectations, paving the way for their continued success and an enriched quality of life.

After struggling with sound sensitivities and meltdowns in various social settings, we decided to try The Listening Program with our son, Christopher. Not only has his sensory overload reduced significantly, but his language skills have soared. From struggling to communicate about his day, he now uses fully structured sentences. We initially anticipated he would repeat kindergarten, but to our astonishment, he is advancing to first grade and excelling in reading and math. From resource sessions twice daily and being at the bottom of his class, he has become a leader and is no longer at risk of being retained. We are filled with gratitude for the positive impact that TLP had on his development.

Maddie, a 12-year-old junior high student diagnosed with autism, struggled with developmental delays that made it hard for her to keep up with her classmates. Her parents were worried about her communication, social, and emotional skills, as well as her ability to process auditory information. After just 5 months with The Listening Program, Maddie is currently passing all subjects at school, and her parents are happy to see her emotional maturity flourish. She can now write clear sentences, enjoys reading, and has become more outgoing socially, even joking! Her communication skills are dramatically improved, and she no longer throws temper tantrums.

Milo has been using The Listening Program for over 15 years. His progress exceeded what his provider and parents had hoped for. His social engagement and language skills flourished. He seemed more aware of others and even began to open doors in advance of others in public places! Daily transitions became less stressful, and he was more willing to help with group tasks without being asked or cued. He loves classical music and plays the violin, mandolin, French horn, and saxophone with confidence.

I have been using TLP consistently with my clients since 2008. Each TLP Core Program has the power to lay the foundation and ready the body for sensory regulation, calming, and decreasing the stress response. It helps to optimize motor planning, perception and enhances overall auditory processing abilities, all of which are critical for full participation and achievements in higher-level learning!

Since using TLP, when I say her name, she actually hears it. In the past, I would have to call her name 5 times and she wouldn’t even answer me. She has recently become more aware and is able to verbalize and express more of her feelings or communicate when things are loud. She is not as loud when talking; seemingly quieter in general. I am not sure if what I am seeing is really happening. She has always been really hot and sweaty most of the time, but today she is outside in the sun with a light jacket on. In general, I feel she is much more regulated.

LP

As a medical doctor, I find TLP to be a powerful tool. The success we have seen with patients who utilize this program has been groundbreaking in many cases​, including improvements in or acquisition of new developmental, language, social, emotional, and academic skills. In our population of patients, we use TLP to address chronic stress, anxiety, depression, decreased cognitive function, poor memory, and other brain dysfunction. TLP is really a go-to therapy to help our patients progress and heal faster.

Since using The Listening Program, Christian is doing well with school at home. I noticed I don’t rephrase directions for assignments as much as I did in the past. His language processing is improving. Christian uses more descriptive words in his conversation, which is a huge win for auditory processing. He used to view TLP as a chore. Now, he enjoys it. That makes it so much better.

The Listening Program was a great support during the first year of the pandemic.  I was living alone, and the music supported me in decreasing my anxiety, increasing my focus and attention, helping me feel connected and calm.  I also struggle with auditory processing issues, memory, as well as difficulty in discriminating sounds. I have made significant improvements and so enjoy it. TLP has made a tremendous difference in my life.  I am so glad I found your program!

I’ve been using The Listening Program with Waves Bone Conduction personally and as a provider for the last 5 years. When I feel over-stimulated or overwhelmed, I will listen for 15 minutes, and it calms me down so quickly. It helps my brain feel organized and helps to regulate me when I feel overloaded with too much auditory noise. The effects last throughout the day. This program has improved my attention, my auditory processing skills & my emotional regulation.

For my patients with ADHD, Autism, chromosome disorders, sensory processing deficits, or other diagnoses, I see improvements in their auditory sensitivities, improved emotional regulation skills, improved attention skills, improved body & environmental awareness & improved auditory processing skills.

The saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” was wrong in my case. I dove into The Listening Program headfirst. I don’t know that I’ve ever had a more pleasurable experience. I knew something special was happening to my brain. I had such overwhelming anxiety and fear that I couldn’t see how something so enjoyable could provide the benefits and relief I longed for. I progressively started to see changes in the way I looked at things. I was learning and relearning in all aspects of my life.

I suffered from crippling symptoms of Meniere’s Disease 24 hours a day. After using The Listening Program to support my recovery, I noticed slow but steady improvements in my extreme auditory and visual sensitivities, gate, balance, and ability to use a computer. Within six months, I could enjoy music, movies, and close my eyes in the shower without fear of falling or nausea.

TLP music is beautiful, intricate, fascinating. I hung on every note. I felt elated and sad at the same time when it ended. I feel in awe. As if I were deaf and just now heard for the first time. The world was flat, and now it is round.

After discovering The Listening Program, I was amazed by its impact on my own life. I knew I had to share it with my students in the special education program. The transformation I saw in their behavior and learning was truly remarkable. They were more engaged, focused, and able to regulate their emotions. The program’s success over the past 15 years was so significant that our school became known for its academic achievement. It’s truly inspiring to see the difference therapeutic music can make in the lives of students with special needs.

As a teacher, I was skeptical about adding another program to my classroom. But after seeing the remarkable benefits of The Listening Program, I knew it was a priority. It’s incredible to see my students’ ear-to-ear smiles as they begin to connect letters, sounds, and words to form sentences. Many of my 4th and 5th grade students struggled with reading and writing skills, but after TLP, they showed significant improvements in attention, completing assignments, and taking risks in reading and writing. Their excitement and engagement in classroom conversations also increased. TLP truly enhances the academic environment, and I’m grateful for the positive impact it’s had on my students.

The Listening Program has been a game-changer for my student, who was diagnosed with autism and started kindergarten at the age of 5 ½. Before we incorporated TLP into his routine, he struggled to sit still, focus, copy a line, follow directions, and regulate his emotions. He often cried, threw tantrums, and ran around the classroom. But after just a few weeks of listening to TLP daily, he became a different child. His behavior improved dramatically, and he became more confident, social, and happier overall. Thanks to TLP, he’s thriving in school and in life.

TLP has given my 80-year old client the gift of choice. As an intelligent, dynamic, independent woman, she could choose to live alone as she preferred, choose to use TLP rather than pharmacology to lessen her anxiety, and choose to improve one of the most vital skills in aging: communication. This has given her the ability to live her life as she wishes, with dignity and ability. That is the best definition of successful aging.

In over 40 years of pursuing new approaches to solve client concerns, The Listening Program is the most effective, research-based novel approach I have found.

Of all of the different therapies and approaches I have used over the past 15 years working with specialists who treat children and adults with various needs, TLP has been the one therapy that has shown the most consistency and impacts the whole brain. It is an important part of other treatment modalities and therapies used to care for a person, making the overall treatment process more effective and more timely. TLP is a foundational tool to achieving optimal wellness.

TLP provides a “safe signal,” priming the nervous system for success. The body’s vagus and other sensory and motor nerves respond as predicted by the social engagement theory. I consistently see improvements in vision, social connection, and behavior with my clients. TLP improves their ability to process sound frequencies that lead to a sense of security, safety, and achievement.

As an Audiologist and Speech-Language Pathologist, I have observed many benefits since incorporating The Listening Program in my therapy to supplement, complement, and facilitate auditory processing skills. It’s all about creating our internal body, mind, and spirit homeostasis by expanding the window of tolerance within us to the ever-changing external world of multi-sensory stimulation. I have seen significant changes in my patient population, including those with deficits in auditory function, emotional regulation, academic weaknesses, memory issues, speech and language weaknesses, dyslexia, sensory sensitivities, and more.

His active listening skills have improved, and he is following directions, enabling him to accomplish more of the things he wishes to do. His sound sensitivity has also improved, which allows him to better enjoy public places with the family, and the sound of the blender doesn’t bother him the way it used to. I have enjoyed seeing this progress for my son, and we plan to continue The Listening Program to see how it can propel him further toward the goals that we seek for him.

We began using The Listening Program just before my son’s 13th birthday.  My son has a diagnosis of autism, and as a parent who has used many types of interventions over the past several years of his life, I can truly say that The Listening Program has brought about positive changes in a short period of time.  I saw attention improvements and his conversation skills soared. His sound sensitivity decreased and he didn’t have to cover his ears like he had before. My son was enjoying more of the world and more of the people in his life. TLP was easy to do, and easy to implement into an already existing protocol, which was exactly what our family needed.  I plan to have Nicholas continue TLP, to keep to working toward the goals I have for him to thrive in his Middle School, and beyond.

I am so grateful to have had The Listening Program to use in my speech therapy practice since 2000. It activates the mirror neurons in the brain resulting in improved speech and connects cause and effect relationships and social pragmatic communication.

“From a personal standpoint I believe The Listening Program® is 100% responsible for the huge strides in his comprehension of reading materials and such, and for my being able now to understand every teeny jibber jabber thing he mutters to himself. And of course, as his world is expanding and his comprehension of so much more of his environment around him increases, he jibber jabbers much less now, too.

That Cam is doing addition and subtraction now with one digit numbers is amazing! And to think the MD’s in ’96 told me that I would have to institutionalize him because he would never get better.”

When we first encountered “Aaron” at the age of 7, he seemed lost in his own little world before using The Listening Program. He would not respond to either teacher or peers. He would sit on the benches on the playground and stare into the sky during recess and lunch breaks. He had not learned to jump rope, skip, catch balls, play tether ball, or balance on a two wheeled hand scooter. TLP seems to have markedly improved his ability to listen to and comprehend verbal instructions. By the end of the first year of using TLP, “Aaron” was almost at Grade Level in many subjects.

His play is now more purposeful as well as very imaginative. More abstract skills are emerging. Austin knows when something is funny, when someone isn’t pleased, when his behavior is inappropriate. His ability to read the incidentals is increasing. When Austin started at our preschool, he couldn’t stay in a designated area. He is now more focused and displaying a greater interest in his surroundings.

Prior to using The Listening Program, Aaron spent much of his day lining up blocks and making patterns on the carpet.

The small, lost child I met several years ago has transformed into a little boy with so much to live for. I attribute his success to TLP.

“In my practice, I consider good auditory processing to be foundational in helping students achieve academic success. In my experience The Listening Program always provides the best results and my students are more focused and happier at school and at home.”

Mary Kidson

My experience with inTime was extraordinary, enjoyable and engaging. I was not thinking, feeling or acting my way through this but experiencing the process and surrendering to it. My mind and body loved this rhythmic experience. For me, it is intense for a period of time as the body releases its hold, internal chatter emerges and creative tension mounts. I had a sense of no longer being able to or wanting to “hold on” and chose to surrender to the process. In turn, emotions and thoughts surfaced quickly. They became front of mind and I became more conscious and clear of this need to act. I could feel this pressure and push demanding my attention, expression and action. For me this process created some turmoil that resulted in a shift of mental and emotional energy but when all the stars lined up and the mind and body rhythms were in sync – personal strength was born. A strength that liberated expression released feelings and dictated action. It was an internal transformation.

My son is more focused in his homework. He is also more focused in his reading. Seems to have more stamina in getting his homework done. There is less complaining with homework. His reading is much better–smoother. He can sit at the table for a longer period of time to get his homework done. Before he would get up every few minutes to do miscellaneous things, because he was bored. I am not having to constantly bring him back to the table.

To me, inTime is more than a rhythm-based music listening program.  I have practiced yoga for 12 year.  Yoga teaches its students to find inner quiet or peace, even in a crowded noisy room the goal is to be able to shut out all the noise and distraction and meditate. Listening to inTime is very similar to this, all the stress and distraction and chaos in life is like the crowded, noisy room.  During and after using this program the situations that came up in life that were big stressors I was and am able to handle in a calmer and clear way. I feel centered and motivated, more able to see the bigger picture in the projects that I am working on, not only in my job but in my life as well. The music is so energetic and fun, it’s hard not to move with the beat.  The best way to describe this program for me is a quote by Berthold Auerbach “Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

The inTime program provided us with immediate results. My grandson Jayden is twelve and has a delayed coordination disorder. The first week of listening Jayden became noticeably more comfortable in his body, especially his hands.  The second week Jayden was coordinating the gathering of supplies to complete activities of daily living such as toiletries and dressing three times faster. The third week I as the grandparent began to realize just how vastly this coordination issue was affecting Jayden’s ability to have the basic gathering of thoughts never mind the required supplies to do any given action.
I began to realize because I saw the change in Jayden. I saw the increase without supervision to the flow of his actions.  In other words inTime helped Jayden go from not thinking to thinking in just four short weeks. Astounding! Grandma thanks you.

I participated in the inTime preliminary clinical trial….. I loved it. I did both phases and my 8 year old son did the first trial. For me, the music was very uplifting and made me want to move. My first session was in the morning and helped me get ready for the day. I did my second session after work and it made me feel re-energized for the evening. It is so different than the other programs ABT has to offer. I also enjoyed watching my son play the air drums and smile while listening. He does TLP SPECTRUM regularly and liked the inTime music better. He said, “The music was slower, softer and made me feel good.

inTime is like a “page-turner” book one is reading and can’t put down. I happily and eagerly looked forward to each listening session and always felt so calm, settled and pleased with the outcome of each session. Helped me address some posture challenges I have been experiencing. I can easily pinpoint use of inTime with a number of my clients. Rhythm is such an essential component of our optimal functioning as communicators and learners.

I am so excited about inTime; after having the opportunity to experience this program first hand, I was energized and enthusiastic about waking up each morning so that I could do my listening again for that day. I did not want it to end. I felt myself ‘be-bopping’ to the beat and ready to start my day. I look forward to sharing inTime with my clients, especially my teenage population who tend to go for the rhythmic beats that inTime provides. I personally and professionally appreciate the ongoing and extensive research that ABT provides with each and every product!

I have been a provider of The Listening Program since 1999 and have integrated the program into the treatment of children with varying disorders and have seen great improvement with attention, communication, behavior, self-regulation and motor skills.  I am excited with the development of the inTime listening method, as a rhythm-based music experience will enhance my interventions with children with sensory processing, modulation and coordination disorders through capitalizing on the principles of entrainment.  Through my trial listening experience with inTime, I found a great richness and depth to the compositions which impressed me as powerful, but with a calming element. The layering of the percussion, string and wind instruments on top of the base rhythm provides an auditory figure-ground experience and really facilitates your attention, along with the diversity of the music.

Advanced Brain Technologies new program is amazing. Within days of starting inTime I felt calm and no longer had periods of profound sadness. My general outlook has changed and I feel that I can face the future. I became more motivated and energetic and was able to do things that I had been dreading. I also sleep better and am more refreshed on waking. I am able to focus on what needs to be done and the “brain fog” is gone. I want everyone I know to benefit from this new program. Thanks ABT you’ve changed my life!

Within a couple of weeks of listening to inTime I began to notice positive changes. I felt more in control of my emotions, less overwhelmed and more self confident. These changes became more evident as I continued listening. inTime is an absolute joy to listen to; I became at one with the music being totally absorbed into the rhythms. I have previously used other programmes but I feel that inTime has made changes at a core level in a relatively short period of time. This has given me increased emotional stability and enabled me to take control and move forward in my life.

The first time I used TLP, my grades jumped from a 3.0 average to a 4.0 average just like that-right off the bat. Nothing changed except for using The Listening Program®. Everybody in my family has used TLP.

When we bring Nicole up for a nap and to go to bed at night, we put The Listening Program® on and she’s very excited about it. Her progression in the last year has been amazing and I think that The Listening Program® has been a big part of that. I would highly recommend it.

My Andrew has loved and benefited from The Listening Program® since day one. He does the 30-minute session while he has breakfast. The day we began the program he began speaking again!

I am happy to express my satisfaction with BrainBuilder to effectively challenge different aspects of my thinking skills. I have been using it since 2005 because it has helped me make the most progress. The people at Advanced Brain Technologies are always courteous, very eager to help and generous with their time whenever I call with any questions. I encourage anyone looking for cognitive enhancement to give BrainBuilder a try!

I am enthused about inTime adding to my repertoire of interventions. inTime, involving short sessions of listening engaging the body, sets up the brain for higher level processing, clarity of thinking and decision making. For me, I felt more connected and effective in my daily work and life and see its application for all ages. ABT keep on providing interventions that keep up with current brain and therapy research.

The Leigh Academies Trust has spent many years researching the effect of coordinated movement programmes that we know make a very significant improvement in reading and also the ability to concentrate. As CEO, I helped to drive the programme and was convinced of its efficacy for all children, especially those aged between 8 and 13. I am delighted to offer my support in bringing this to a wider audience.

Results have been very positive showing improvements, particularly in literacy skills, auditory and visual processing, concentration and memory, and also having long-term effects on examination success…

We’ve now been delivering The Movement Program for four years and feel very committed to it. It is very exciting to see students’ focus and witness the impressive progress that students of all abilities make in their reading ages. Along with other reading initiatives in school, it is probably the biggest marker of students’ future success.
