Johansen individualised auditory stimulation

About

Johansen Individualised Auditory Stimulation (also known as Johansen Sound Therapy) was developed in Denmark by Dr. Kjeld Johansen, director of the Baltic Dyslexia Research Laboratory, from the original work by Christian A. Volf. It is a home or school-based Sound Therapy programme, which involves listening to specially recorded music for ten minutes a day, 6 days a week, over an average of nine months.

JIAS is the only auditory stimulation programme which can customise music to the individual’s own listening curve, to organise and enhance auditory processing skills. The programme is offered through trained providers. For training information please visit Smart Learning Solutions
