We Are One Of The Top Providers For iLs in Durham, Cary & Raleigh
iLs is a complementary approach to brain fitness which can be integrated into a broad variety of educational, therapeutic and self-improvement programs. In the same way we can train our bodies to become stronger and healthier, iLs trains the brain to process sensory, cognitive and emotional information more effectively. With better synaptic connectivity, we perform better. It’s about as simple as that.
We start with music and movement, and then gradually integrate language and cognitive processes. The exercises appear simple but become increasingly difficult as we add new layers for simultaneous processing. The program involves no computers or screens of any type. Someone once referred to iLs as “a boot camp for the brain.” We’d like to think of it more as play, and we all know we work hardest when we play!
About iLs At Developmental Therapy Associates
DTA has several OT providers that have been certified and trained in using Unyte-Integrated Listening Systems (iLs) programs. Many research articles support how sound based approaches can supplement individual therapy and/or support home programming. The programs are known as the Focus System, Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and Dreampad. iLs integrates use of music, multisensory input and movement to improve brain and body function so that an individual can achieve a more organized “self”. Activities associated with iLs can be incorporated and customized into clinic based therapy and/or home programs. Research supports these programs can be effective with addressing emotional regulation, sensory processing, learning and attention, auditory processing, and cognitive functions.
