WELCOME TO OUR WORLD OF SOUND BASED
What makes The Davis Center unique is that it has evaluated all the therapies below from an audiological perspective to determine how and why they are effective. There is a right time and a wrong time to start a therapy and success is based upon a careful evaluative process. Dorinne S. Davis, MA, CCC-A, FAAA, is trained in all therapies offered at the center and has established a protocol to identify which of the following therapies would be appropriate for you or your loved one.

Additionally, this method has helped people who experience auditory perceptual problems that include language comprehension, phoneme awareness, speech and sound discrimination, listening in background noise, difficulty expressing their thoughts, vestibular/balance issues, and sensory integration issues. For: those who exhibit the following behaviors: inability to stay focused, distracted by random sounds, slow response time, inconsistent performance, tuning out, daydreaming, incorrectly following through with directions, covers ears, avoids noisy situations, and learns better visually.
 For: those who want to enhance auditory communication. This method has helped children with auditory processing weaknesses that may include localization of sound, pitch sound discrimination, speech discrimination, listening in background noise, receptive language, expressive language, auditory sequential memory, vestibular/balance weaknesses, proprioceptive issues, oral motor weaknesses, coordination, and rhythm issues. For: the enhancement of reading, writing, spelling, creativity, self-confidence, socialization, voice quality, fluency, and foreign language skills. Clients have reported less depression, higher levels of energy and motivation, better performance on the job, and greater clarity of mind.

This method is a tool for people with dyspraxia, language delays, attention deficit, learning, cognitive, sensory integration, and motor challenges, especially with sports related skills.
