“Four years ago I began using EEG/Neurofeedback with my special needs students. They made steady progress, overcame vulnerabilities to seizures, became more focused, gained flexibility in their thought processes, and became more self controlled, but it took many sessions. Some were carried over to an additional school year to make the kind of gains necessary to succeed in school. Even with the length of time it took, EEG has great merit and is an educational intervention I will continue to use.

This year DLS was added to our program and I saw gains that amazed me. In a fraction of the time EEG took to affect minimal change, DLS has enabled students to perform in a classroom setting, negate the need to have one on one instruction, loose a severe case of dyslexia and surprise a physician with a significant reduction of medication. The gains were more significant, deeper and much faster than I had experienced with EEG. I will use DLS as my primary intervention tool from this point forward.”

“DLS has been an excellent addition to our practice. We feel it is one of the most powerful tools for treating sensory and auditory processing disorders. The changes we see in the children we work with continue to amaze us!”

“I have found the DLS System to be extremely versatile. It has been instrumental in helping to relieve stress, pain and anxiety for my clients, besides audio processing difficulties. Because the DLS System is gated, exercising the inner ear, and is structured to innervate the vassal and vestibular system, it helps to relax the mind and body more that just listing to a relaxation CD and the treatment stays with you longer. Many doctors are realizing the healing effects of music and refer patients with stress related illnesses. With my academic background in psychology, I have found that using music with all my clients produces great results.”

“As a pediatric occupational therapist who has been practicing for over 25 years, I am continually amazed at the effectiveness of the DLS equipment with children on the autistic spectrum, who have sensory integration disorders, language based and non-verbal learning disabilities as well as other developmental delays. This equipment facilitates growth and development in the areas of motor skills, language/communication and social skills at a greater rate than any modality I have used.

It is also a pleasure being associated with the Center for Inner Change, DLS’ “sister company”, and the Minsons, who offer a wealth of knowledge and experience with care and integrity. I would recommend the DLS training and equipment to any practitioner who is interested in developing their practice with this exciting, state-of-the-art technology.“

“Dynamic Listening Systems has been an integral part of our practice. It has enriched and enhanced the entire therapy process - a powerhouse when combined with sensory integration. Using the auditory and vestibular channel through sound therapy has been the missing link to integrating and organizing the body. The results have been phenomenal!”

“I am a speech-language pathologist and have specialized in auditory processing disorders for 16 years. My number one preferred therapy has always been the Lindamood-Bell programs and no other therapy has ever lived up to my standards until DLS. I now use a combination of the DLS and Lindamood-Bell therapies together which has produced far better results than with the Lindamood-Bell programs alone. My clients learn to visualize much faster which leads to significant improvements in their comprehension and memory in a much shorter time than with my previous techniques. I also commonly see improvements in some visual skills, auditory discrimination skills, writing, thinking processing speed, attention and focus, balance, coordination, listening in background noise, listening to muffled speech, reading, spelling, some improvement in math and overall confidence. Certain clients have exhibited improvements other than those listed above but in my practice these are the most common improvements.

Having a tool that can address areas that I was unable to reach before has been very exciting as a therapist. DLS is also pleasant and easy. Previous to incorporating DLS the therapies utilized in my clinic were demanding and hard work for therapist, parent and child. Although I still use these techniques, I use them in a modified form and do parent teaching so parents can use these tools at home. The children need much less practice with the techniques because DLS has increased their skills and abilities so that everything taught to them is learned more easily and rapidly.

DLS is also a great tool for increasing speech and language skills. I had a four year old boy who spoke in one word utterances, was unintelligible to those outside of family members more than 50% of the time and was not toilet trained. I have personally found that the effects of DLS are greatly enhanced when incorporating other therapies along with it, however, we did nothing but DLS with this little boy. By the end of the program his speech improved by 50%, he spoke in 3 to 6 word sentences and he was toilet trained. He also exhibited much more confidence.

I highly recommend DLS to speech-language pathologists and every other type of therapist. It truly is a highly effective, fun and pleasant therapy. It has changed my life as well as many of the lives of my clients.”
