Change the Brain through Sound & Movement

The Focus System is a multi-sensory auditory intervention using specially-treated music and movement to support brain integration and skill-building with individuals who struggle with sensory-motor and neuro-developmental challenges. This program is well researched and according to Integrated Listening Services (Stephen Porges) helps with the following:

  • Better academic outcomes including improvement in reading comprehension
  • An increased ability to control impulses and self-regulate behavior
  • Appropriate social engagement with others
  • Less stress and anxiety
  • A happier disposition
