What is “integrated” listening and how can it help?

Integrated listening programs combine the therapeutic value of listening therapy with specific visual and balance activities.  This combination trains the brain to process and manage multi-sensory input to improve learning and life performance by helping to normalise the way you process and integrate sensory information.
