Auditory Training Program™
A broad battery of standardized auditory processing and speech and language assessment tools are utilized to identify specific auditory processing deficits. These tools enable Auditory Training Program practitioners to establish specific protocols for each individual client, and monitor the progress of the customized programs.
Suitable for all
The program is suitable for both adults and children. Each program is tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the individual.
Intensive Program
A typical course of the Auditory Training Program consists of 30 hours, spread across 3 weeks. Sessions are undertaken for 2 hours per day, 5 days per week.
