Here are some happy parents and clients sharing

“J's transition into his new self-contained program has been quite good and he seems to be enjoying it! Since we last saw each other, J's language and relatedness continue to improve by the day! I am so happy to see all these great gains. Since we are about 6 months since we finished our program, I wanted to touch base about next steps. I also spoke to Dr. O about perhaps doing another Tomatis series and she thought it might be a good idea as well.”

"My 2.5-year-old daughter just completed 15 days of listening therapy with Sue and it was fantastic. We have seen improvements in many different areas (less self-stimulating behavior, more verbal, follow commands better, trying new foods, etc.). Sue couldn't have been sweeter to our little girl and we are so grateful. We can't wait for our next session in August."

"I was truly blessed to find this wonderful service. I had a most unpleasant few years with many family members dying within a 9-month period of time. I had no previous experience with depression. After two years of therapy and medication I was much improved, but not where I wanted to be. A professional suggested that I try this technique. It was magical. After 60 hours of listening, my depression was resolved. I am very grateful and I highly recommend Listen for Change."
