Parents often ask if I recommend listening programs.
SSP (Safe & Sound Protocol), Tomatis, Therapeutic Listening, and ILS (Integrated Listening Systems) — can:
✨ Regulate the nervous system
✨ Improve communication
✨ Reduce anxiety
✨ Enhance social skills
(Under the supervision and recommendation of a therapist)
These programs use filtered or processed sounds to stimulate specific neural pathways, activating the auditory system to support cognitive and emotional growth.
⚠️ MNRI® Clinical Insight:
If Fear Paralysis or ATNR reflexes are not functioning correctly, listening therapy can overstimulate the brain, leading to anxiety, hyperactivity, or regression.
If so — begin with ® reflex integration first. This builds the foundation, so listening therapies become powerful secondary tools instead of potential stressors.
A trained MNRI® specialist can assess readiness and guide therapy sequencing for best results.
