For those limited by travel time or distance, The Davis Center has created its Distance Program. Its format is based on The Davis Center's philosophy, as represented by the Center's “tree” analogy (Davis Center Philosophy). However, it utilizes only those therapies available in a home format. This program; therefore, is used as an introduction or basic program. To achieve the full effect of the sound based therapy protocol, the overall prescribed sequence must be followed as suggested within the tree analogy.

The Distance Program offered by The Davis Center consists of following: The Listening Program™, followed by the Fast ForWord™ Series. The Listening Program™, based on the Tomatis Method, uses special headphones and CDs. The Fast ForWord™ Series, an interactive, computer-based program, includes programs addressing needs in areas ranging from language to reading. Both of these programs can be done at home.

Participation in the Distance Program requires the client undergo initial testing, either at our facility, or at one of their choice. Test results must be provided prior to starting the program. (If a Central Auditory Processing Evaluation has been performed, a copy should be submitted.)

Each Distance Program client is monitored closely, via weekly fax or email reports and programs are changed as needed. Additionally, phone consultations, an important part of the process, are scheduled periodically.

TLP is a neurodevelopmental auditory training program for use in the home, school, or clinic. Developed in collaboration with the National Academy of Child Development and Advanced Brain Technologies, TLP is designed for children and adults with learning and attention difficulties, auditory processing problems, sound sensitivities, receptive and expressive language problems, perceptual difficulties, sensory integration challenges, or developmental delays. TLP is also valuable for improving communication skills, musical abilities, and learning potential.

The Listening Program™ utilizes clinically-proven sound stimulation techniques originally developed by Dr. Alfred Tomatis. Consisting of 8 CDs and Guidebook, The Listening Program™ is administered by an authorized and licensed therapeutic or education program supervisor.

When administered under the supervision of The Davis Center with weekly monitoring, The Listening Program™ Lays the groundwork for the appropriate level of the Fast ForWord™ Series.
