Ears, attention & calm

Ears Ready to Learn

Some children hear perfectly yet struggle to listen — missing instructions, melting down in noisy rooms, or zoning out mid-story. Our therapeutic listening program pairs specially filtered music with swinging, dancing, and deep-pressure play to train attention and sound tolerance.

Sessions feel like a music party with a purpose, and families get a home listening schedule with simple movement activities.

  • Auditory processing and sound-tolerance screening
  • Filtered-music listening with movement play
  • Home program with weekly therapist check-ins

Listening FAQs

How is this different from a hearing test?+

Hearing tests check the ears; we assess how the brain uses sound — filtering background noise, following directions, staying regulated.

Does my child need special headphones?+

No purchase needed. We lend clinic headphones for home phases and set the exact playlists and schedule.

Can listening therapy help picky listening at school?+

Often yes — teachers frequently report better carpet-time focus and fewer repeated instructions after a listening block.

Is it suitable alongside speech therapy?+

Very. Better listening accelerates speech progress, so we often run both programs in one coordinated plan.
