Tomatis-based
Listening Programs
Brain Works offers
both home-based and center-based auditory training programs. Home-based
programs are available for people who are unable to come to the center for
listening training. Individualized programs are developed after an initial
evaluation for listening acuity, auditory processing disorders and attention
deficits with questionnaires, an interview and, when possible, testing.
For clients who are
capable, we include visual-motor-balance training and some cognitive
training while clients are listening. In addition to auditory training, we
have a separate Brain Training Program. Tutoring is also offered at Brain
Works.
Diane Daniels,
M.A., Ed.S., Director of Brain Works,
is a certified teacher, school counselor and school psychologist with 24
years experience working at the elementary, high school and community
college levels. She has been trained in the Tomatis Method, the LiFT, the
Dynamic Listening System, Integrated Listening System (iLs), JoEE, and The
Listening Program (TLP).
As a bit of
background, Diane conducted her first listening training program at a school
where she worked with five children, who were “falling between the cracks”.
The music-based sound stimulation created remarkable improvements in the
children’s attention span, auditory processing, academic skills, sensory
integration and self-confidence. As a result, Diane opened her Center for
Listening & Learning in 2001. In 2008, Diane added a brain training program
and renamed her center Brain Works. She says, “The center has been a real
gift in my life, as I am able to participate in promoting the growth of
children, teens and adults in ways they never imagined possible”. Read more
