The
Electronic Auditory Stimulation effect (EASe)
audio CD series is the original disc based auditory intervention
program. The EASe CD is an easy to use, simple and safe tool for
occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech therapists,
listening therapists and parents, to teach a child challenged with
sensory processing issues, sound sensitivity, central auditory
processing disorder (CAPD), hearing or developmental issues, to better
manage noise. The EASe CD listening program is based on the Guy
Berard method of auditory integration training (similar to Tomatis) and
can be carried out at home, at school or in a therapist's office with
an inexpensive CD player and a high quality pair of headphones.
There are
a few
people in the US and in Canada that provide training in methods that
are related to the Tomatis Method. The options differ
significantly. It would be prudent to compare them, both with
regards to the training, purchase of the equipment and other
contractual terms. You can compare the differences on the following
