how Can Sound Therapy help with dyslexia
Read more
The balance between the two hemispheres of the brain is of fundamental
importance in dyslexia and learning in general, which is known as "whole
brain learning".
Both hemispheres play a role in processing language,
however the roles they play are different. The eye must combine with the
power and the quality of the ear to make sense of the written sounds.
This cross-hemisphere co-ordination happens easily as the left
hemisphere deals primarily with auditory language and the right
hemisphere deals with vision.
However, in dyslexia, the route which
allows for phonic analysis has often been damaged, so we look to
re-train the brain with the Sound Therapy Listening Program.
Are you in a system that often offers inadequate or no support
With an ever increasing emphasis on education and literacy, more and
more children and adults are needing help with learning to read, spell,
express their thoughts on paper and master the use of grammar.
Left unchecked, these learning challenges
not only have an impact on performance, but can lead to low self-confidence and self worth. Even worse, they can often lose belief in themselves and feel so discouraged, that they
stop trying altogether.
Seeing Dyslexia Differently
In Reality It Can Be Different
I know there are many positive aspects to dyslexia such as a lively imagination, creativity, making links and connections, big picture
thinking and many others.
And we are often told about all the famous people who have been successful in life who had or have dyslexia.
However, no matter how many times we are told
about these positive traits and the famous ones, it
doesn't take away the frustration of trying to learn in the here and now, plus the feelings that go with it.
The positive improvements we are getting are from the Sound Therapy Listening Program
What is the sound therapy listening program
The "Sound Therapy Listening Program" used with adults, teenagers and children of all ages and abilities is an easy to use 5 level program that combines innovative sound technology
with a wide selection of music. The program gently gives the brain a
natural sound workout, creating new neural connections that helps with dyslexia as a result.
The program is proven in studies to stimulate cross hemisphere co-ordination that
help's dyslexia, whilst increasing focus and general learning. There
are also other positive benefits that you will pleasantly find out about
as you browse the the testimonies page.
Although the program benefits all users of any age
and ability, in studies its also been shown to be highly effective for
adults, children and adolescents with Dyspraxia, ADD/ADHD,Dyslexia, Asperger's Syndrome and Auditory Processing Disorder.
what areas of improvement do we see from Our users
Concentration and Focus
As the program gives the brain a cross hemisphere workout, we see improvements in concentration.
Learning Abilities
With the improvements in concentration and focus that most users experience, it leads to learning becoming easier.
Self-Confidence
As learning starts to improve and becomes easier, positive self-confidence starts to grow inside and out.
Co-ordination
Because the program induces cross-hemisphere synchronisation it has a positive impact upon co-ordination.
Behaviour
The program has an effect upon focus and concentration, which we believe has an impact upon impulse and behaviour.
Happier
I can tell you there is no better feeling than to see a smile on a face that says I'm doing better and feeling happier.
We get great feedback from Students, Teachers and Parents
SEN Teachers talking about the sound therapy Program being used in school
Listening to the sound therapy helps my brain get ready to learn. I have gone up 2 targets grades in English and I can read, spell and write much easier now.
Josh
Student
I have noticed a significant change in one particular pupil when he listens to the Sound Therapy – his whole persona changes and he becomes focused and willing to participate in lessons. An incredible transformation.
History Teacher

One pupil has ADHD – hyperactive not aggressive. He asked for the CD player to be put on his desk with ear next to it and produced better work than he’s done in a year!

How Long Do You Have To Spend Each Day Listening
The Sound Therapy can work extremely quickly and can create the space for behavioural and learning change to take place.
One of the real benefits is that you don't need to spend hours of time listening, as part of our research results came from users only listening to one 10 minute track/day.
It's easy to use and you’ll be able to listen to at least 10 minutes while commuting to school, work, walking around, working out, relaxing even or studying.
The Sound Therapy Listening Program music choice
There are 40 tracks to choose from, 8 different genres on each level (1-5), so there is plenty of selection for kids and adults to personalise their listening experience. However, it's the sound therapy behind the music that does all the work.
Research is important and our results are outstanding
A
study conducted by the Cognitive Drug Research Group, a top UK and
international cognitive testing and research company, found that all
users made improvements.
Those with challenges from dyslexia,
dyspraxia, ADD/ADHD and other learning and behavioral problems improved
more significantly using our program for just 10 minutes a day.
Short Term Memory also improved by a massive 46% to 73% in our test group, which could also have implications for learning and those with short term memory challenges.
A Recap on the positive benefits of the sound therapy listening program
Learning And Behaviour

Most cost effective Sound Therapy program with no hidden extras, practitioner follow ups or renewal fees.
It's an easy to use step by step program and comes with support and simple instructions
Step 1
Purchase the Program and either download and listen instantly or choose the pre-loaded mp3 player option.
Step 2
Before you start the program make a note of the areas you would like
improvements in to compare afterwards.
Step 3
Decide what music you like and listen to 1 or 2 tracks a day for approx 2 weeks before you move to the next level.
Even better, there’s no expensive equipment needed
Outside of the Sound Therapy Program itself, all you need is a PC, phone, tablet or mp3 player and a pair of headphones. Our great results come from the actual sounds, beats and specific embedded tones that we have developed, not the quality of equipment they’re played on. The CDR research was carried out with cheap mp3 players and headphones, and the research showed a multitude of improvements..
Frequently Asked Questions
Who Can Benefit From The Sound Therapy Listening Program
Even though we have some great results with dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, auditory processing disorder and other learning challenges, we have also had some very good results and feedback from those who have purchased the program to help them focus and learn more effectively. So it can be used by anyone of any age who would like to give their brain a 5 level workout.
Do the effects last or fade over time.
The program is designed to educate or re-educate the brain to enable more effective processing by speeding up, slowing down or through cross hemisphere synchronisation that brings about whole brain learning. This is maintained throughout the use of the program and gives the brain a chance to re-adjust as it works through the levels. Once the program is completed you will find that cognitive and emotional behaviour will of changed in a positive way and it lasts.
However, what we also find is that the program can be used periodically, when it is felt that it is needed as a boost, such as before exams, sports events or when stressful situations arise, so it becomes like a tool in the toolbox to use as required.
How quickly can we expect to see results.
If you listened to the auditory feedback from the SEN teachers further up the page you will of heard them say that they have seen results in as quickly as 5 minutes of listening to the program. As each individual is different, then results will vary, but will be consistent with using the program on a daily basis initially. Our research also showed results with users spending 10min/day or 1 track whilst others prefer 20min or 2 tracks per day which they felt was more intense and helped speed up the process. What we do know is that you will see positive results and they may be in areas that you did not expect which is why we ask users to create a base line of their activities and abilities before and after using the program.
Can you do too much listening.
We don't actually put a limit on the listening as we have had users who have enjoyed the music and have listened many times a day. However, my advice would be to start off with one or two tracks/day and see how that feels initially then more if it feels like you are getting more benefit or using the program fo a specific purpose such as exams or other stressful situations or times when you need a burst of focused attention..
Can you use the program before bedtime.
We suggest that you have a cut off period of at least 2 hours before going to bed. The reason for this is that due to the program giving the brain a workout
Are there any side effects.
What we noticed at times is that users can sometimes but rarely feel a little light headed when starting out on the program. If this happens, because after all the brain is being worked, then we advise at least a glass of water before listening. Although nobody has given us feedback on any headaches it's another reason why some water is recommended just in case.
How long do I need to stay on a level for.
Although some users have moved up a level before the recommended 2 weeks, others have stayed on a level for 4 weeks or more because they feel that it is really making a difference. Some users move up the levels and maybe get to level 4 and revert back to level 3 because they felt that was doing them more benefit and level 4 may of been a little too fast. Whatever your process of working through the levels from 1-5 or starting at 4 back to 2 for maybe some of the ADHD users we are always here to share knowledge and best practice.
Do you offer any pre-sales or post sales support.
In terms of support the founder of the program Jeff Moran is always there to answer your questions and advise on various products and issues that have to do with the program and often outside the program, in areas of general learning and behaviour. He can be contacted through his personal email or if a telephone call is the better option then we can arrange that. We also have the live chat with the team that you can find on each page where we can help with any questions. However Jeff is the expert in the field.
Do we need to buy any expensive sound equipment like headphones or speakers.
This question comes up a lot and our answer is that we carried out the research with CDR using really cheap mp3 players and earbuds, so the answer is in our experience and to get results then no. However if you choose to get a decent pair of comfortable headphones then by all means do so as it may improve the listening experience, just like sitting on a comfy chair.
What if the user struggles to wear a headphone or earbuds.
What we have suggested and used on several occasions is that 2 speakers are placed in the room on opposite side so when the user is in the middl-ish then they still get the cross-hemisphere effect, or even better play a track in the car. So yes there are way to get the user to listen without headphones because a good part of the program is to enjoy it.
Will it work with other programs.
Yes, we find it works well as a complement to Forbrain as it provides a strong and complete multi-sensory training, but we would suggest you try the Sound Therapy listening Program before moving to Forbrain.
Why have you priced the program a lot less than other solutions.
The main aim was to create a program that was affordable and could be used with a wide range of users. Because it is a generic program it does not require tailor made solutions, which often ramp up the cost and are not always necessary.
So if you shop around you will find that we are one of the most, if not the most cost effective solution in the market and we always say that before you spend possibly hundreds if not thousands on a solution, give ours a go as you may be pleasantly surprised.
Can I use the program once I have gone through the levels.
Yes, you can use the program again and again and also share it with other members of your household for them to gets the benefits. Users listen to it when they feel they need a recharge or as mentioned before in certain situations such as before exams, interviews, sports activities etc. It's your to use for life.
