                            What is “integrated” listening? 
                            iLs programs effectively “re-train” parts of the brain involved in 
                            learning, communicating and moving.  Combining a Tomatis- 
                            based auditory program with specific visual and vestibular 
                            stimulation, iLs strengthens neurological pathways and 
                            improves our ability to learn and to process information.   
                            A well-modulated vestibular system is essential for controlling 
                            the nervous system’s level of arousal.  The vestibular, cochlear 
                            and visual are our 3 main systems for organizing sensory input, 
                            and they are very interrelated.  Stimulating all 3 simultaneously 
                            is a holistic approach which requires the brain to become better 
                            at processing multi-sensory input. 

                            Who can benefit? 
                            iLs programs directly affect our visual, vestibular, and auditory systems, thereby influencing a 
                            broad spectrum of our day-to-day functions.  iLs is most often applied to improve the following 
                            situations:  
                            • learning difficulties 
                            • auditory processing, reading, phonemic awareness 
                            • concentration and attention 
                            • sensory processing 
                            Other areas where clinicians are successfully employing iLs include the recovery of executive 
                            functions after head injuries, mood improvement, emotional well-being and for children on the 
                            autistic spectrum.
