Sound sensitivityA child covers their ears at the hand dryer and needs the rest of the session to settle. Auditory processingThe child follows the first step of a two-step direction and loses the second. RegulationA calm-down routine works most days and falls apart when the room gets loud. Language and readingReading practice stalls when the child has trouble telling similar speech sounds apart. What The Listening Program is The Listening Program® (TLP) is a music-based listening therapy. Clients listen through headphones to classical and world music that has been neuroacoustically modified to train specific listening skills. Sessions run 15 to 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and programs progress in stages. You set each client’s plan and adjust it as you monitor progress, whether listening happens in your clinic, at home, or both. “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.” Kavita Kaul, MS, AuD, CCC-SLP/AABT adjunct faculty CourseResearchFacultyPricingDetailsFAQ Enroll What the course covers Four areas of study, at your own pace.

TLP research appears in six peer-reviewed journals, including Occupational Therapy in Health Care and the International Journal of Listening. Each study below lists its design. 2020 · International Journal of Listening Butler, Schueler, and Lucker: 456 participants, ages 5 to 50 After about 10 months of TLP, average scores rose on all four SCAN auditory processing subtests. Average percentile rank compared with same-age peers. The dashed line marks the 50th percentile, average for age. Filtered Words (understanding muffled speech)d = 1.79 Before22nd After59th Auditory Figure-Ground (hearing words in background noise)d = 1.79 Before18th After56th Competing Words (listening when two words arrive at once)d = 1.66 Before12th After38th Competing Sentences (following one speaker while another talks)d = 0.91 Before19th After41st What this means: on average, participants moved from about the 18th percentile to about the 48th, close to the middle for their age. An effect size (d) above 0.8 is considered large; three of the four were above 1.6.
