Program/Product
Announcements
iPod-to-Amp
Cable: Larger production
quantities and a new provider have lowered our
costs on the iPod-to-Amp Cable. We are pleased
to pass the savings on to iLs Associates, with a
new price of $28.
Calming
Program: iLs has developed a new
Calming/Prep Program which combines the two
goals of reducing anxiety and preparing the
listener for iLs programs (i.e. very gradually
acclimating those with auditory and vestibular
sensitivities). The new Calming/Prep Program is
10 hours in length and is included at no extra
charge on all Pro and Focus units. If you would
like to have this program added to your Pro or
Focus unit, ple ase contact
support@integratedlistening.com for an RMA
number. There is a $25 loading
fee.
Interactive Language

video showing sample techniques for using the
Interactive Language Program (formerly referred
to as the Expressive Language Program) is now
available in the iLs Associates Resource section
of the web site. (Access restricted to iLs
Associates)

To Tug Hearts,
Music First Must Tickle the
Neurons
- Some scientists are aiming to understand and
quantify what makes music expressive — what
specific aspects make one version of, say, a
Beethoven sonata convey more emotion than
another.

Mortality in
Individuals With Autism, With and Without
Epilepsy
- A comprehensive
investigation of brain tissue donated to the
Autism Speaks Autism Tissue Program (ATP), a
postmortem brain tissue donation program,
determined that one-third of the brain donors
with autism also had epilepsy, and co-morbidity
data from the California State Department of
Developmental Services revealed a higher than
expected rate of mortality in individuals with
both autism and epilepsy than for individuals
with autism
alone.
