OUR THERAPIES
AUDITORY RETRAINING THERAPY
(Integrated Listening Systems™)
This therapy uses filtered music to mature the pathways in the brain needed to recognise different sounds when reading and spelling and to process spoken language quickly and efficiently. Auditory Retraining Therapy is also used to treat children who are easily overwhelmed, hypersensitive and anxious, and have difficulty regulating their emotions.
DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT THERAPY
(Extra Lesson ™)
Research has shown that learning and behavioural difficulties are a result of developmental issues in a child's early years. This means the natural pathways and faculties needed for learning to be easeful do not fully develop, and the child is not ready to learn. By repeating early childhood movement patterns, we are able to 'rewire' the brain to rebuild the pathways for success.
