Sue is presenting at International Tomatis Conference in Panama

Friday, April 1st, 2011

I am pleased to report that I will be attending the International Tomatis Association (IARTC) Conference in Panama April 7th-10th, 2011.   I have been asked to speak on the results of my work with an exceptionally articulate middle aged woman with life long auditory processing based learning disorders.  I am thrilled to have an opportunity to share how Tomatis has changed her life, and the lives of those around her.The topic of this conference is Tomatis and the Voice.  I have had excellent experience thus far using SoListen to help people find their voice and refine its use.  I am so delighted when children begin to sing and adults on singing on key for the first time.

NAA Westchester Parent Discuss Tomatis

Friday, March 25th, 2011

It was great to join this group of smart, well informed parents of children on the spectrum last Monday.  They discussed many cutting edge therapies that they have been involved with.  I was pleased when the conversation turned to listening programs.  Among the 20 or so families represented, 6 had been through some form of Tomatis auditory training.  They all agreed that they saw gains which did not dissipate over time.  Among the gains reported were increased eye contact, decreased self stimulatory behaviors, and increased use of language.  What a great evening! Thanks for the pizza and the company!  Let’s do it again soon!

Tomatis Stimulates Expressive Language

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

5 year old M who had no previews initiation of language was able to make a verbal request. It was wonderful to see him reaching up his arms to his dad, and say “cuddle me” The power of this new portable Tomatis device, still has me in awe.

Autism and Solisten

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Two brothers on the spectrum just finished their 30th day of listening.  AA, the Mom, reports some resistance but definite changes in ability to follow directions.  Speech and ABA therapists are noting better performance and carryover.  Remember, change is sometimes uncomfortable.

Getting Acquainted with Listen For Change

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Tomatis has finally come out of the office and into the world!

I am so excited to have a way to share this exciting approach to auditory training with you all.

At Listen for Change, We have been using the revolutionary portable Solisten device to help people change their lives one sound at a time.  Based on over 65 years of solid scientific research, it is now possible to efficiently, effectively and economically provide interventions for adults and children with issues as wide and varied as:

  • sensory integration processing disorders;
  • attention deficits;
  • memory lapses and losses;
  • inability to concentrate;
  • learning difficulties;
  • expressive, receptive and acquisition of new language capability;
  • emotional problems;
  • inappropriate behavior; and
  • many other problems.

Recipients of this intensive auditory training program have seen significant short term and ongoing benefits that have improved not only their lives but those of their close family and friends.  On future posts, I will share with you many cases of the successes that we have achieved.  I will also  provide insights into how auditory processing can have an impact on conditions that may not automatically be obvious.

Most importantly, I want to hear your questions, thoughts and ideas and to ignite a debate that has been a long time in the making.

So thank you for stopping by!  I hope that this is a start of a rewarding and beneficial relationship for us all.
