Sound therapy is also called auditory training and involves listening to modified therapeutic music in order to improve listening skills, communication and various learning skills. Sound therapy trains the auditory system to attend to, discriminate and sequence sounds. It is done on a regular basis over a period of time, either at home or at a clinic using headphones.
As each child is different, sound therapy, just like any other effective therapy, needs to be highly individualized. Therapists are required to undergo specialized training. Kaleidoscope therapists provide Samonas Advanced Auditory Training and Therapeutic Listening programs for clients with auditory processing difficulties.
