Children enjoy their time at the Centre, a place that conveys therapy as “good news”.  The Listening Therapist invites them to draw, paint or play, while they receive sound stimulation through the headphones.  A special room for younger children is equipped with a swing, a hammock, mirrors, puppets and toys to provide a multi-sensory experience which helps reinforce the effects of the sound training.  Parents have their own room where they can benefit from a relaxation sound program at no extra cost while consulting information from the Centre’s resource library, comparing notes with each other, or simply enjoying the friendly and peaceful atmosphere of the Centre. From time to time, they visit with one of the Consultants to discuss the child’s progress, share their observations and concerns, and seek advice and recommendation.Home-based programs are available to certain clients for "boosts" and skill enhancement.
