LiFT is a personalized auditory program designed to facilitate sensory integration, attention, speech-language acquisition, learning and overall well-being. Listening Fitness (LiFT) is an educational technique that uses our own voice and filtered music to develop and improve listening skills.  Every program is developed for each individual.  We have been successful in adding reflex, motor, vestibular and posture activities with the LiFT.  It can be done in a clinic, at home, or in a hybrid of a variety of environments- home, clinic, etc.

The program goes for a total of 60 hours of therapy-which is all within 6-weeks of listening time with a 4 week break in between.

Broken down— It requires 2 hours a day Mon-Fri for 3 weeks—- 4 week break—– 2 hours a day Mon-Fri for 3 final weeks. 

The LiFT system is a Tomatis-based listening program, and the first link will guide you to research about the Tomatis Method.  The next link is an interview with Paul Madaule, who worked with Tomatis and developed the LiFT program.  And the final link is a website from New York Times best-selling book “The Brain’s Way of Healing” by Dr. Norman Doidge.  In his book, he dedicates a chapter to the LiFT program.  It is a nice read if you are further interested in the history of it all and the stories of patients who completed the program.
