iLs offers two types of training: Professional Certification and Practitioner Certification

Both courses are designed for professionals – clinicians, educators and counselors – working with children and adults challenged by

• learning & attention difficulties
  
• fine and gross motor skills
• auditory processing
  
• the autistic spectrum

Examples of the types of professionals we train include speech and language therapists, OTs, PTs, educators, counselors, neurofeedback practitioners, chiropractors, naturopaths, athletic trainers, psychologists, neurologists, and other clinicians.

Registration Criteria: a professional degree and 2 years of experience in your field

Professional Certification begins with a 4-day course training professionals in the iLs methodology, Tomatis history, clinical assessments, client program customization and hands-on practice with iLs professional equipment, the 1000 and iLs Pro. Certification is granted after successful completion of the course and three mentored case studies. Professional Certification also authorizes the use and resale of iLs Focus and Home Systems.
