Noah spent 1 1/2 hours a day participating in this program (in addition to the 4 hours of therapy). You can see he has head phones on - listening to either music or myself (mom) reading stories and singing. But the Tomatis program enables the sounds to come into the ears in such a way to specifically strengthen the inner ears. The inner ear stimlates the vestibule which controls balance, muscle tone, coordination...... very fascinating. While Noah is wearing the headphones he is usually also participating in some type of sensory or motor play which you see in the pictures (Check out the Didgeridoo!!!!!)
