Our Pre-Lingual Programs

For many people, knowing exactly where to start or how to create an educational environment can be challenging. Play Along With Me!™ was created for just this reason.

Play Along With Me!™ is an active learning system that, through interactive, one-on-one playtime, strengthens adult/child bonding, a key ingredient for successful sensory development. It was especially designed to give you an active, hands-on role in the most vital aspects of your child's development. The audio CDs, interactive videos and inviting, tactile educational toys work seamlessly together to provide the stimulation necessary to promote the development of your child's cognitive, motor, social and language skill sets

In studying the autistic brain, researchers have found that the musical portion of the brain is frequently unimpaired in a child with low receptive language and no expressive language. There is a direct correlation between the musical portion of the brain and the language area in the opposite hemisphere in autistic children. Filtered and gaited musical sound patterns can lead to a better understanding of language sound patterns. 

The Listening Program® most commonly reported benefits to a child in the Autistic Spectrum are in the following areas;

Increasing Engagement
The listening experience can help improve self image and lead to a better sense of body in space. As listeners become more comfortable in their body and surroundings, and have a reduction in tactile defensiveness, they may initiate more contact and respond better to others. They often start to pay more attention and start to make eye contact. An important aspect with increased engagement includes a reduction in aggressive behavior and a desire for more affection.

Emerging Skills
Sound stimulation has commonly shown an accelerated rate of progress with therapeutic, neurodevelopmental, academic, and behavioral programs. As these areas are addressed with individualized programs, listening helps facilitate better integration and organization in the sensory and motor systems leading to a more rapid rate of skill acquisition and desired outcomes.

Auditory Processing
We can only process a sound if we can hear it well. We monitor our communication through listening to others and ourselves. The Listening Program helps to improve the rate and accuracy of sound perception. As the brain learns to better process sound, there is a corresponding improvement in auditory processing and receptive language. As this improves the ability to perceive enhances often resulting in improved communication.

Reducing Sound Sensitivity
Hypersensitivity to sound can be debilitating for anyone, especially those with additional sensory processing problems. The Listening Program provides sound stimulation which helps the nervous system to better modulate sensory input. With a better ability to modulate sensory input there is often a reduction in abnormal sensory perception, especially the perception of sound. Reducing sound sensitivity allows one to be more comfortable in their environment as they no longer have to protect themselves from unwanted incoming sounds.

We also recommend that use of behavior analysis with those that are not verbal. The combination of applied behavioral analysis along with our programs will enhance the total well being of anyone on the autism spectrum. Information of behavior analysis services for Brevard County FL is on the bottom of social skills page.  

Please see the social skill groups page for more information. There are also links to games that build skills you need at home.

What can you expect
(TLP) The Listening Program^® to do?

Improvement in auditory processing is just the beginning ... Incredible care has been taken to use expertise from the best minds in the field to create an auditory therapy program that is easy to do at home, is immensely enjoyable, and also extremely successful in strengthening auditory and related abilities. Here is a program that can benefit anyone, but especially individuals who have difficulties in the areas of auditory perception, processing, and memory.

The Listening Program^®  has helped individuals make improvements in many areas, including the following:

• Attention span and focus
• Speech and motor control
• Auditory perception and sensitivity
• Musical expression
• Sensory Integration
• Self-esteem, mood, and motivation
• Social interaction
• Understanding spoken language
• Reading, spelling, and handwriting
• Physical balance and coordination - sensory integration

The Listening Program^®  was designed to help balance, strengthen, and/or restore our ability to listen to and process sounds across the full auditory spectrum, from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This can result in striking improvements across the human continuum, from academic performance to emotional balance.

Using The Listening Program^®  literally exercises and tones tiny muscles in the ear and helps build stronger multi-sensory pathways in the brain. The brain receives especially rich auditory stimulation, and its ability to process sound improves.

The Listening Program^®  may help with:

• Attention problems / ADD
• Learning disabilities and dyslexia
• Difficulties processing and retaining auditory information
• Difficulty following directions
• Articulation problems
• Language problems
• Reading comprehension problems
• Monotone voice or sing/song voice
• Central auditory processing difficulties
• Easily distracted by sound
• Overly sensitive to sound
• Low energy level and lack of confidence
• Vestibular problems, including balance and coordination
• Difficulty with communications and social interactions
• History of ear infections or middle ear fluid
• Hearing loss related difficulties
• Sleep problems

The Listening Program requires fifteen-thirty minutes (depending on age and sensitivity) five days a week

Cognitive Training Games Improve:

• Listening skills,
• Attention skills,
• Working memory,
• Mental processing speed,
• Multi-sensory processing,
• Self control,
• Self confidence
• The ability to process spoken language

What is Cognitive training? 

Cognitive training consists of a variety of exercises designed to help improve functioning in areas such as sustaining attention, memory, thinking before acting, visual and auditory processing, listening and reading. The principle behind cognitive training is to help improve the "core" abilities and self-control necessary before an individual can function successfully academically. The exercises "drill for skill" directly in the areas the areas where specific cognitive difficulties occur.

Since this approach requires repetition and one to one instruction, the computer is the easiest and most cost effective way to implement this type of program. The computer also provides the option of game like structure to motivate clients to complete the training. Cognitive training is awesome for the inattentive student.

Research related to Cognitive Training is available on the website

It is suggested that a client spend 2-3 hours a week in cognitive training. Software can be purchased and used at home or you may pay usage fees at the Center.
