Integrated Listening Systems (iLs) combines individualized Tomatis-based auditory training with visual and balance exercises. The program stimulates visual, vestibular, and auditory systems simultaneously and is useful in clinical, school, and/or home environments. iLs can help those with sensory, motor, processing, speech/language, and concentration or attention difficulties. Combined with occupational therapy, Listening Therapy appears to "jump start" developmental changes in children with challenges.

Professional Certification for professionals

A 4-day course training professionals in the iLs methodology, Tomatis history, neuroanatomy of the brain, clinical assessments, client program customization, and hands-on practice with iLs professional equipment (the 1000 and iLs Pro). Certification is granted after successful completion of the course and three mentored case studies. Professional Certification also authorizes the use and resale of iLs Focus and Home Systems. Registration criteria for the Professional Certification includes a professional degree and two years of experience in your field.

iLs Professional Certification training is conducted by Ron Minson, MD, student of Dr. A. Tomatis.
