A Regulated Parent Is the Most Powerful Intervention Free live webinar Wed, Sept 23 · 1:00 PM ET A Regulated Parent Is the Most Powerful Intervention How sensory overload shapes regulation and what helps You're not failing. Your nervous system is overwhelmed. Rachel Harrington has spent a decade showing families what changes when a parent's nervous system settles first. Save My Free Spot Guest expert Rachel Harrington COTA/L, CPRCS Founder, The Sensory Project Owner, Sensational Brain Hosted by Alex Doman Founder and CEO, Advanced Brain Technologies 300,000+ Parents and professionals reached through The Sensory Project, where Rachel uses The Listening Program in her own practice, personally, and with her family. Two decades Of peer-reviewed research behind The Listening Program®, the auditory training Alex Doman created and Rachel uses with families. 60 minutes Live and free, for parents and for any professional who works with these families. What you will walk away with Five things Rachel and Alex cover in the hour, each one is something you can use that same evening. 01 A specific first move for the moment you feel your own body tense before your child's does, before the hard moment even starts. 02 The exact signs Rachel checks for before she recommends reflex integration work with a family she's supporting. 03 A practical way to check whether co-regulation, not just another sensory strategy, is the piece still missing. 04 What her book, Grounded, says about turning nervous system science into an ordinary Tuesday, straight from Rachel, previewed live before it publishes this December. 05 What The Listening Program does differently from just listening to music, and what the research now shows about sound and nervous system regulation. Save My Free Spot This is for you if You have a child who melts down at sounds other kids barely notice, needs headphones for the lunch room, and you've stopped trying to guess which sound sets off the next one. You notice your own body tense before your child's does, in the same grocery store aisle or the same loud gathering, and you've started to wonder whether that's coincidence or something worth naming. You have noticed your own reactions to sound, touch, or a loud room, and you are ready to understand your own nervous system on its own terms. You work with children whose sensory reactions do not track cleanly to what the intake form says, and you want a clearer read on when a primitive reflex is the real driver behind it. You support families, and you want the actual nervous system science behind regulation instead of another tip sheet. You have families whose progress holds in the clinic and comes apart in the car on the way home, and you want the parent's own regulation in the plan. Rachel Harrington COTA/L, CPRCS "You're not failing.Your nervous system is overwhelmed." Most of the work has gone toward your child. You know which sounds send him under the table before anyone else notices. You know which mornings are going to fall apart before you've opened the door. What almost nobody names is what's happening in you while you're tracking all of that. Rachel has spent a decade watching what happens when a parent's nervous system settles, and what happens when it doesn't, in her clinical work, and in her own home. This session covers what she looks for in the body, in reflexes, and in that pattern between a parent's state and a child's.

"I am so excited to be a part of Advanced Brain Technologies because The Listening Program is truly fantastic. My clients see improvements with sleep, attention and focus, organizational behavior, and sensory processing abilities. It's so easy, it's almost scary! TLP gives our brain exercise every day, and that's why I love it so much." What families and providers say "I have been using The Listening Program with Waves Air and Bone Conduction Headphones personally and as a provider for the last 5 years. When I feel over-stimulated, I listen for 15 minutes and it calms me down so quickly. It helps my brain feel organized, and the effects last throughout the day." "For my patients with ADHD, Autism, chromosome disorders, or sensory processing deficits, I see improvements in auditory sensitivities, emotional regulation, attention, and body and environmental awareness." Sophie R. Kriss, MOT, OTR/L "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." Parent of Christopher, Sensory Processing Disorder "Before TLP, many sounds would cause her to scream and cry, and I was so scared that I couldn't help her. Now she calmly asks what the sound is and she isn't upset anymore! She uses TLP every day and it has helped her in so many ways. I have a lot of hope for her now!"

In this session, Alex sits down with Rachel Harrington to ask the questions ABT's own community has been asking about reflexes, regulation, and what actually works. Questions before you register Is this really about my child's sensory issues, or is it more about Rachel's parenting philosophy? Both, because Rachel's clinical work and her own parenting are built on the same finding: a child's nervous system takes cues from the regulated (or dysregulated) adult nearest to them. This session covers the actual mechanism, not just a philosophy. My child's situation feels more complicated than a typical sensory issue. Will this still apply? Yes. Rachel works with reflex integration and nervous system regulation specifically because sensory reactions rarely trace back to one clean cause. This session is built around the more tangled cases, not the simple ones. We've already tried other sensory strategies. How is this different? Most sensory strategies target the child's environment or behavior directly. This session covers what's underneath that: retained primitive reflexes and the parent-child co-regulation loop, backed by over two decades of peer-reviewed studies showing sustained reductions in auditory sensitivity using The Listening Program, a neuroscience-based music listening therapy. Is this for parents, or for the professionals who work with kids like mine? Both. Rachel and Alex built this session to work for parents navigating this at home and for the OTs, SLPs, and other providers supporting families through it. What does "nervous system regulation" actually mean in practice? It's the physical state of your body's stress response, and Rachel will show what it looks like to shift that state in the moment, in a way your child's nervous system can pick up on. Why sound specifically, and what does The Listening Program do? The auditory system has a direct line to the nervous system's stress response, which is part of why sound can overwhelm faster than other senses. The Listening Program uses specially engineered music, delivered through both air and bone conduction, to gradually build the nervous system's tolerance for a wider range of sound. It's the auditory science behind what Rachel and Alex discuss in this session. If you've read this far, some part of you already knows what this hour is really for. You've spent so much energy matching your pace to your child's, bracing before the room even gets loud, holding steady so someone else doesn't have to. This session won't ask you to add one more thing to your plate. It will show you the first thing to try, tonight, and where that fits into everything you're already doing. This one is for you as much as it is for them, whether you're the parent staying up late researching what might help, or the provider trying to give your families a better answer. Know someone else who needs this? Bring them with you; there's room for both of you in this session.
