Put another way, the children were encouraged (and required) to have their bodies involved in the overall treatment program. While their ears and brains were processing the Tomatis treatment, their bodies were actively climbing, swinging, crawling and so forth. As the result of this, many children achieved a level of mind-body integration that would not have been possible with merely passive listening.
The results that parents immediately noticed were the child's ability to make eye contact, and the overall improvement in bodily coordination.
Recently we have taken this approach farther:
We have developed a new program that is now available at the Spectrum Center , called Advanced Listening Training. This program builds upon the foundation of listening and sensory skills that were initially established through the Tomatis Listening Training. Where the Tomatis Listening Training focuses on the ear and gravitation as the fundamental focus of therapy, the Advanced Listening Training program focuses on a variety of higher order processing abilities "executive functions" of the mind-body apparatus.
