Ages 2 through adult. For a two to five year old, a provider typically starts with Spectrum on the gentlest schedule, a single 15-minute session a day. From around age 6 that often becomes two 15-minute sessions, and older children who can sustain focused listening may move to 30-minute sessions. Sessions run five days a week, and your provider sets and adjusts the schedule rather than you guessing at it. The 456-participant study included people from age 5 to age 50, and the gains did not differ by age on three of the four measures.

This is the most common worry from parents of sensitive listeners, and it is what the starting point is chosen around. Spectrum is the gentlest of the programs and calms auditory sensitivity rather than demanding tolerance for it, which is why providers usually start a sensory-sensitive child there. The gentlest schedule is one 15-minute session a day, and a session can be shortened further while a child gets used to it. Waves are sized to fit a small child.

Your provider builds the first weeks around what your child will actually accept and adjusts from there. Working out that starting point is a large part of what the eight sessions are for.

No. TLP is used alongside occupational therapy, speech therapy, tutoring, and school services. In the research, participants continued their existing therapies throughout. Your provider can coordinate with the people already working with your child.

Your first session runs 30 to 45 minutes by phone, and follow-ups run 20 to 30 minutes. Eight sessions across three months, weekly at first and then every other week. It is all remote, so where you live does not limit which provider you get.

Your certified provider sets the starting program and schedule, watches how your child responds, and changes the plan when it makes sense to. These are occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and other clinicians who completed ABT's full certification.

At the first session your provider sets goals against what you are actually seeing at home, the specific things that made you look into this, and those goals get reviewed at every session after. So you are not waiting and wondering in silence for three months. If something needs to change, that is the conversation where it changes.

How quickly any individual responds varies. What the eight sessions give you is someone watching it with you who knows what early movement looks like.

Yes, and this is where the value tends to land for families. One System serves the whole household with no per-listener fee. A sibling who needs it in two years uses the same one. A parent who wants Sound Health for their own focus, or Sleep Genius at night, is using something already paid for.

The four core programs cover different goals, so two children with different needs are not competing for the same program.

No. It is a single purchase. No monthly fee, no renewal, no per-listener charge. Everything stays on the music player and belongs to your household with no end date, so a family that uses it across several years pays exactly what a family that uses it for three months pays.

Yes, through Advance Care Card, an independent medical financing company. ABT does not offer its own financing and does not lend or extend credit. You apply online directly with them, it is free to apply with no obligation, co-signers are welcome, and there is no prepayment penalty. Up to 15 months interest free is available if you are approved, which puts $2,997 at $199.80 a month. Terms depend on your approval.

Klarna is also offered at checkout. Because the system is over $2,000, Klarna’s four interest-free payments do not apply here, so you would be looking at their monthly financing instead, where the length and the rate depend on the plan you are approved for. If interest free is the priority, Advance Care Card is the one to start with.
