Auditory Processing Disorders
Sound-based therapy supports change in clients who have Auditory Processing challenges like:
o Hypersensitivity and Hyposensitivity to sound
o Listening in background noise
o Bilateral integration
o Auditory closure
o Auditory memory
o Auditory sequence
o Auditory discrimination
o Temporal sequencing
o Delayed auditory feedback
o Attention/focus
o Listening
o Word retrieval
About Sound Therapy:
Sound-based therapy involves the use of sound vibration that impacts the body using special equipment, programs, modified music, and/or specific tones/beats, the need for which is identified with appropriate testing.
About Auditory Processing:
Auditory processing has been described as "what we do with what we hear." In other words, it is the ability of the brain (i.e., the central nervous system) to process incoming auditory signals. The brain identifies sounds by analyzing their distinguishing physical characteristics frequency, intensity, and temporal features. These are features that we perceive as pitch, loudness, and duration. Once the brain has completed its analysis of the physical characteristics of the incoming sound or message, it then constructs an "image" of the signal from these component parts for comparison with stored "images." If a match occurs, we can then understand what is being said or we can recognize sounds that have important meanings in our lives (sirens, doorbells, crying, etc.).

Ms. Davis will be referring to practitioners for most of the sound-based therapies identified as needed within her DETP®. Therapies which may be identified as being needed are:
Berard AIT, FST, EnListen® , Tomatis®, Fast ForWord™, Interactive Metronome™, BioAcoustics, and/or Cymatheraoy. Ms. Davis will only be administering BioAcoustics and Cymatherapy in her semi-retirement.
Therapies are only suggested after completing the Diagnostic Evaluation for Therapy Protocol (DETP®) which determines if any sound-based therapy is appropriate and when it is, in the correct order. We utilize The Davis Model of Sound Intervention®.
