iLs: Integrated Listening System

About:
iLs program enhances students’ abilities to process information by developing parts of the brain involved with movement, communication, and learning. This program is helpful with:
Learning disabilities (reading, writing, cognitive functions)
Visual and auditory processing
Concentration and memory
Balance and coordination

How does it work?
iLs uses headphones and an iPod to engage the three main sensoryorganization systems – visual, auditory, and balance – through a series of sounds and vibrations. This helps to retrain parts of the brain, which builds strength and memory as well as refining processing skills.
