Anyone can benefit from improved listening ability. The Listening Program can be used by people of all ages, starting as young as age two. Empirical evidence has demonstrated benefits for the typically developing child, individuals experiencing listening, sensory, learning, language, reading, attention, memory, social, communication, and auditory processing difficulties, and those interested in improved communication and speaking skills, musical ability, learning potential, relaxation, and creativity.

I have more information on the research at our TLP Resource Center.

Our ears do two different things. Our ears hear a sound, thats called acuity. But they also differentiate sounds. We recognize that /fay/ is different from /say/ is different from /they/.

Those with poor auditory processing skills can't retain or discriminate sounds very well. The sounds don't have a reference or meaning. So these sounds are often blocked or ignored. You can't use what you don't understand.
