Enroll now for $247 → 5.5 hours, self-paced • .55 AOTA CEUs • AOTA Approved Provider • Clients ages 2 through adult Where this fits in your practice Sound sensitivity and auditory processing show up everywhere, not just in session. You've seen these moments before, whether they showed up at home, at school, or in your therapy room. "A child who flinches at the classroom hum spends the lesson managing sound, not learning it."Sound sensitivity "A two-step direction like 'grab your shoes and meet me at the door' gets lost halfway through, the second half never quite landing."Auditory processing "A calm-down routine that works most nights falls apart the moment the house gets loud."Regulation and behavior "Reading practice at home takes twice as long when the auditory system is still working just to keep up."Language, reading, and communication Without it, the same behavior plan, language goal, or home routine keeps hitting the same ceiling, however good it is. Providers add TLP to their practice, whether they're guiding a session in the clinic or supporting a family through it at home, because it makes the rest of their work land more effectively. "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." Patti Andrich, MA, OTR/L, COVT, FNAPOptometric Vision Therapist & Occupational Therapist, The Vision Development Team Why it comes first, not last Auditory processing is the layer underneath the rest. The auditory system shapes more than hearing. It's tied to focus, calm, connection, language, and behavior, which is why providers reach for The Listening Program across such a wide range of goals. Sound sensitivity, a nervous system reading ordinary sound as a threat, is one example, but it's far from the only one. The Listening Program is a neuroscience-based music listening therapy that uses neuroacoustically modified classical and world music to retrain the auditory system at its source, building the foundation that focus, language, connection, and behavior work all depend on. Listeners complete short daily sessions of about 15 minutes, 5 days in a row, through progressive programs that advance as the brain develops. Many providers introduce it early and run it alongside their existing approach. 15minDaily sessions 5daysIn a row, week over week Ages 2+Children, teens, adults, and seniors Any settingHomes, schools, clinics, and hospitals Why it works The brain can change. This gives it the right input. Neuroplasticity means the brain forms and reorganizes neural pathways at any age, when it gets the right stimulation, often enough, for long enough. Therapeutic musicClassical and world music is neuroacoustically modified to stimulate specific listening functions. Frequency, intensity, durationMeaningful change depends on the right input, delivered often enough and sustained long enough. A firmer foundationThe auditory networks behind attention, language, and regulation grow stronger, so the strategies built on top of them finally get the traction they were missing.

The success we have seen with patients has been groundbreaking in many cases." Allen T.

"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. 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."

Before you enroll A few more things people ask What happens after my free 30-day TLP Online subscription? + The 30-day subscription is a complimentary trial for you to explore TLP Online as a listener yourself. It's separate from what you offer clients, so there's nothing to wait on before bringing TLP into your practice. After your 30 days end, you can continue your own subscription starting at $34.95 a month, or move to a TLP System, a one-time purchase. Does my certification expire? + No. Once you're certified, you're certified for good. ABT recommends renewing or retraining every 3 to 4 years, or sooner if you feel it would help, though it's not required to keep your certification active. How soon will I see progress with a client? + Progress depends on the individual and the protocol, which is why the course trains you on the built-in monitoring tools to track a client's response throughout their program, rather than a fixed timeline. Programs are designed to advance in stages as the brain adapts. How do I match a client to the right Core Program? + Every listener completes a free Brain Scale assessment, which maps their needs across the areas TLP addresses. The course trains you to use those results, along with your clinical judgment, to select the right Core Program and build a personalized protocol. One last thing Add the foundation. Watch the rest of your work go further. This is the layer underneath the approach you've already built, so the results actually last.
