Sound Therapy Older Children's Programs (Ages 8 - 12)

Music specially selected for children to develop their sense of rhythm and form, along with stories chosen to enhance perception, creativity and language comprehension.

Auditory processing is the link between hearing and understanding. The ear and the brain communicate with each other, just like two people having a conversation on the phone. Correct auditory processing requires a number of complex skills.

When these skills are mastered, learning, study and social adjustment happen naturally. Sound Therapy helps your child to develop these skills and perform well in all areas.

These music and story albums for pre-teens 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.

The Older Children's program includes:

• 2 music and 3 story albums
• a MINI MX2 player with headphones
• Older Childrens Program Instruction Guide

Sound Therapy programs and players come with a 12 month warranty and are usually shipped within 1-2 business days.
