Home Therapies Overview

HOME THERAPIES OVERVIEW

The Davis Center now offers many of our sound-based therapies as home programs.. This
provides the potential of helping more people all around the world. The Diagnostic
Evaluation for Therapy Protocol (DETP®) still must be administered before embarking on a
sound-based therapy protocol. This can be obtained either at our location in Succasunna,
NJ or by arranging for Ms. Davis to come to your area to administer her test battery. (For
outreach opportunity information click here.)

Once the therapy protocol is determined, the client can choose to do their listening at our
center or in the comfort of their own home. Each therapy has its own initial consultation.
For our Root System therapies known as Auditory Integration Training, there are two home
programs available. To be considered for a home program and to be put on the waiting list
for the equipment, the client must return the required paperwork and schedule the initial
assessment. This assessment can be by phone if the Hearing Sensitivity Test was
administered within 9 months from the Diagnostic Evaluation for Therapy Protocol. A
young child will not need to be present for the phone call if the testing is current. Once
the assessment is finalized, the client's name is put on the 'next available unit' list and/or
will be scheduled for a time appropriate for your scheduling needs. The sooner the
required paperwork is in and the consultation held, the sooner the client can begin their
program.

The same applies for our Trunk of the Tree therapies known as Listening Training
Programs. There is only one approved home program at this level currently. To be
considered for a home program and to be put on the waiting list for the equipment, the
client must return the required paperwork and schedule the initial assessment. This
assessment can be by phone if the Sound Processing Test was administered within one
year from the Diagnostic Evaluation for Therapy Protocol. If not administered at The Davis
Center, the parent will be asked to have the child perform a few tasks and report on the
child's responses. Additionally, other information will be obtained so that appropriate
programming can be determined for the child. Once the assessment is finalized, the
client's name is put on the 'next available unit' list and/or will be scheduled for a time
appropriate for your scheduling needs. The sooner the required paperwork is in and the
consultation held, the sooner the client can begin their program.

The Seed of the Tree currently has one program which is always administered at home.
There are required questionnaires that must be returned. A consultation is scheduled to
validate the responses. The paperwork is then sent to the program developer and a 2 CD
set is made for the client. Once The Davis Center receives the CD's, they are sent to the
client who will follow the listening program.

The Leaves and Branches of The Tree therapies can all be done as home programs but we
only selectively choose a few clients for these therapies and refer clients to other centers
that administer the programs instead.

The Head circumference of The Tree therapy must be tested at The Davis Center or at an
Outreach Testing Facility but the listening therapy is done at home. Typically the tones
are retested and administered after 3 months. The voice analysis can be done over the
phone but the client must always be tested in the presence of a BARA, and all subsequent
listening is done at home. The BioAcoustics™ packet of forms must be returned prior to
the tone trials or brought to the center on the day of testing.

In general, our home programs are easy to administer. Our staff is available for support
during business hours with limited support on the weekends. Clients report similar
benefits to our in house programs. However, some parents prefer for our therapists to
administer the therapies or some clients want to receive the therapy offered only in house
versus the ones offered at home. The choice is theirs.

The client is responsible for any breakage of the equipment and insurance is mandated for
shipping problems. Clients can avoid shipping/handling fees by picking up the equipment
at our center. If a unit is shipped to the client, the client is responsible for
shipping/handling fees.

Our home programs have become very popular! There are typically waiting lists for these
programs so the earlier one has the requirements in, the earlier the program can be
administered.

Sound-based therapies are not medical treatments. They do not cure or treat medical disease conditions. They work on supporting
change in learning, development, and wellness. The Davis Center does not diagnose or prescribe for medical or psychological
conditions; nor does it claim to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure such conditions; nor provide diagnosis, care, treatment or
rehabilitation of individuals or apply medical, mental health or human development principles beyond the scope of professional
practice.
