Sound Therapy Family Program (All Ages)

Providing the best value for money, this is a package your family can grow with.

The Sound Therapy International Family program includes our full range of Level 1 music and story albums for families, with 3 Mini MX2 players allowing 3 family members to listen at the same time.

These music and story albums use the special Sound Therapy filtering system devised by Dr Tomatis and refined over the last 20 years by Patricia and Rafaele Joudry. This special filtering process makes this a powerful program for the ear and brain.

Parents can benefit from Sound Therapy too. Being a parent is very demanding, tiring, and requires a high level of skill, energy, patience and judgement. With the increased energy and brain function that Sound Therapy provides, parents find their patience and communication abilities are enhanced.

A two and a half year old boy in our program was being naughty and playing on his Mum since the birth of a new baby in the family. Mum was obviously stressed and at her wits end. She bought the Family Program and used it herself all day for the first day. When they next came in I would not have known the little boy to be the same child! It is so important for mothers to be calm and supported in coping with the demands of parenting and I have seen how much Sound Therapy can help with this. A calm parent has a calmer child!

The children's poetry album, Let's Recite, has been a Godsend for my hearing impaired students. They love it! Their attention spans have increased dramatically since they have been listening regularly to the program. My one very hyperactive youngster has settled down to her schoolwork because she knows she can listen to the album as soon as she's finished. Sound Therapy has become a reward!

It's amazing to me that for the 35 years that I have been teaching hearing imparied children, this is the first auditory training program that uses only speech to which the children can listen comfortably. Patricia's speech is articulate and soothing. You have chosen the poems carefully so that they are amusing and hold the children's interest as well.

Specifically engineered for Sound Therapy, this player weighs just 10 grams and is as small as a book of matches. It has a built-in Lithium Ion battery with up to 10 hours of playback, and includes an AC charger.

It is light, simple, convenient, and capable of of reproducing high quality sound with the full harmonics and high frequencies required for Sound Therapy.

The MINI MX2 comes with quality earphones suited for little ears. These earphones have been specially selected: they are comfortable for sleeping, have softer rubber clip to help them stay on, and the younger children's ones include a volume limiter which enables you to set a maximum volume that cannot be exceeded if your child plays with the volume controls.
