“…Case B demonstrated the most limited SOR improvement that the SensOR scales were able to measure, while Case A demonstrated the most room for improvement based on pre-testing scores compared with Cases B and C. These findings lend some support to previous research studies exploring the effectiveness of TLP. Previous studies into the efficacy of TLP (Nwora and Gee, 2009;Francis, 2011;Gee et al, 2013) also reported improved sensory responsivity to contextual sensations, especially auditory and soundbased interventions (Hall and Case-Smith, 2007;Bazyk et al, 2010).…”

“…Paediatric therapists and educators commonly use sound-based interventions to lessen auditory and other SOR in children and adolescents (Hall and Case-Smith, 2007;Case-Smith and Arbesman, 2008;Nwora and Gee, 2009;Bazyk et al, 2010;Francis, 2011;Gee et al, 2013;Gee et al, 2014). Several types of sound-based interventions can be employed by paediatric therapists and educators.…”

Background/Aim: The Listening Program (TLP) is a sound-based intervention that claims to treat the behavioural challenges of children diagnosed on the autism spectrum with sensory processing difficulties. There is a paucity of peer-reviewed evidence supporting its use. The purpose of this study was to determine whether TLP reduces sensory over-responsitivity (SOR) to auditory stimuli. Methods: Data were collected over a 28-week period using an ABAB multiple events case-control design of testing and treatment intervals to capture the responses of three participants to TLP. Results: Graphs from repeated measures data were drawn to analyse the direction and level of trend lines. There was a high variability of responses, with participants responding positively and others negatively at different stages of the study. Conclusions: The results lend some support to the use of TLP with children on the autism spectrum who are experiencing auditory SOR.

“…One avenue paediatric occupational therapists use to address auditory and other SOR-related behaviours in children and adolescents is SBIs (Bazyk et al, 2010, Case-Smith et al, 2008, Hall and Case-Smith, 2007Nwora and Gee, 2009,). The Listening Program ® (TLP; Advanced Brain Technologies, Ogden, UT, USA) is one of several SBIs used by paediatric occupational therapists to address behavioural disturbances related to sensory processing in children with ASD (Nwora and Gee, 2009;Gee et al, 2013).…”

Sound-based interventions (SBIs) are being used by paediatric occupational therapists to help children with autism spectrum disorders and co-morbid sensory processing disorders. A limited yet growing body of evidence is emerging related to the efficacy of SBIs in reducing sensory processing deficits among paediatric clients with co-morbid conditions. The current study employed an ABA single-subject case-controlled design, implementing The Listening Program® with a 7-year-old child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who demonstrated auditory sensory over-responsivity (SOR). The intervention consisted of 10 weeks of psycho-acoustically modified classical music that was delivered using specialized headphones and amplifier and a standard CD player. Repeated measures were conducted during the A(1), B and A(2) phases of the study using the Sensory Processing Measure, a subjective caregiver questionnaire, and the Sensory Over-Responsivity Scales, an examiner-based assessment measure to track changes of the participant's auditory SOR-related behaviours. The results indicated that the participant exhibited a decrease in the number of negative (avoidant, verbal and physical negative) and self-stimulatory behaviours. The decreases in negative and self-stimulatory behaviour may have been due to the therapeutic effect of the repeated exposure to the Sensory Over-Responsivity Scales or The Listening Program SBI.

“…Teacher observations suggest that the children's ability to relate socially to the teachers and other students improved significantly. The teacher observations also stated that the children had a greater number of social interactions with their peers, including interactions that consisted of the participants smiling and laughing (Bazyk et al, 2010). The children also demonstrated increased participation in group activities with their peers.…”

her endless support and encouragement as we completed this journey. With her guidance, we were able to complete a research study and thesis that we are proud to call our own. Thank you for taking every email, phone call, and knock at your office door as we went through this learning process. Thank you also to the Occupational Therapy faculty, including Diane Griffeath, who made phone calls and rearranged rooms and schedules to help us find appropriate research space. Thank you also to Stacy Frauwirth, MS, OTR/L, for her many edits to our early proposal and providing direction as we navigated the early stages of our thesis. We would also like to thank Sheila Frick and Cassie Riccoli Wilcox for providing equipment and support throughout our research. Without your assistance we would not have had the materials to conduct the research or the intricate knowledge of how this Therapeutic Listening® works. Lastly, we would like to thank our families and friends. Amy would like to thank her husband, Trent, her daughter Helyn, and the rest of her family and friends for supporting her through both the tears and joys on her many late nights and busy days. Madeleine would like to especially thank her parents and sisters who were there to answer all of her phone calls and make her feel better in times of excitement, frustration, and stress. Because of your support on this adventure, we know we will be better therapists as we embark on the next stage of our careers. v Table of Contents Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………………… iv Table of Contents……………………………………………………………………………… v List of Tables ………………………………………………………………………………… vii List of Figures ……………………………………………………………………………….. viii Abstract ……………………………………………………………………………………… ix Introduction …………………………………………………………………………… .……. 1 Literature Review …………………………………………………………………….……… 3 Sound Based Interventions…………………………………………………………… 4 Brain Adaptation to Different Frequencies in Music …………………………….….. 6 Benefits of Sound Based Therapy Interventions …………………………………….. 8 Bilateral Coordination………………………………………………………………..
