LISTENING FITNESS TRAINING

YOU KNOW HOW...
In today’s world, kids at school, and adults in the work force, have more and more information to take in, process, remember, assimilate, recite and reiterate. They are asked to comprehend and produce more, and do it with more efficiency, in less time.

WHICH MEANS THAT...
People of all ages can start to feel like the skills they need to achieve success at school, or work, or socially, are underdeveloped, inadequate, or perhaps, completely missing. They start to feel overwhelmed, distracted, unmotivated, and unable to focus on what is at hand in order to complete their tasks and achieve their goals in life.

WELL, WHAT I DO IS...
I offer an educational program called Listening Fitness, or LiFT. LiFT is a Tomatis-based sound stimulation program using music, and special listening equipment called the LiFT. Each program, and the activities recommended during the program, are developed according to each unique individual’s goals. Programs are completed in the convenience of home.

LIFT TRAINING IS FOR...
There are 2 types of Listening Fitness training programs and both are available for children or adults.  A remedial LiFT Program develops emerging listening skills. This is the LiFT program which benefits those diagnosed with learning disabilities, attention deficits, autism, language & sensory processing deficits. There is also a skill enrichment LiFT Program which sharpens existing listening skills to enhance excellence in school, or the work place, or on stage during public speaking, presentations, vocal, dramatic or musical performances.

LISTENING SKILLS ENHANCED BY...
Each Listening Fitness, or LiFT, program is uniquely designed to support the client’s goals. The number of listening hours, and the activities suggested during listening, are based on the LiFT questionnaires and an in-depth in-take interview. Initial LiFT programs consist of 50 - 60 hours of listening with the LiFT equipment. 1 or more listening *boosts may be recommended in the 6 months following the initial program. A boost consists of 10-20 hours of additional listening hours.

*Listeners typically require additional hours of listening, or a LiFT boost, in order to maintain gains made during their initial listening programming and continue their progress.

LiFT Equipment is leased for in-home use to eligible candidates at an hourly rate of $48/hour. Average program fees vary between $2900 to $5000, depending on the number of initial listening hours and the number of boosts. The LiFT instructor works with the client to: establish the listening program, monitor progress, suggest exercises to help the client meet goals, and act as coach & consultant throughout the initial program and any subsequent boosts.
