Johnsen IAS is a tailored listening program. The individual has an audiogram taken, and various listening tests as well as speech and language assessments relevant to their needs. We also assess laterality as it is common that individuals are left-handed or mixed, meaning that they right with one hand, kick with another, and have a dominant eye. This may impact Language learning and efficiency. The individual is then “Prescribed” the best music for them which is made for them, to encourage more efficient listening. The Music is delivered by APP and listened to every day for ten minutes, usually, after 8-10 weeks, the process is repeated until there is more efficient listening achieved. Individuals usually complete between 4-6 music pieces over around a year to a year and a half. Many people who use Johansen get massive benefits in that their auditory processing greatly improves. They are better able to tune out background noise and their confidence and speech in the classroom improves.
