FEATURED
Edward Hallowell, M.D.:
Self-Regulation Through Sensory
Training
 The
more we learn about the brain, the more we
appreciate the regulating value of exercise, and
by “exercise” I mean more than a good game of
tennis or a jog around the block. As my
readers know, for years I have advocated what
might be called “neuro-exercise” – specific
sensory activities which build and strengthen
neural pathways in the brain. We are all
aware now of the notion that our brains are
plastic and can change, but less known are two
key points: 1- lasting neurological change only
happens in response to specific, repeated
stimulation, and 2- these kinds of
neuro-exercises can really help
regulate children and adults with attention
deficits.
A
program based on this concept, Integrated
Listening Systems, or iLs, is being used at
Hallowell Centers and other clinics and schools
around the country with notable results.
The iLs approach is to combine auditory, visual
and balance exercises into a neat package (an
iPod loaded with processed music, special
headphones, balance board and visual tools are
included – see
www.integratedlistening.com). By
training these specific sensory channels, we are
giving a workout to the pathways used to process
and store information. Those same pathways
play a big role in helping us organize and
regulate ourselves.
I recommend parents,
teachers and clinicians look into how they might
add iLs’ neuro-exercise approach to the other
methods they are using to help focus and
regulation. Not only does iLs tackle
regulation and processing in a unique way, it’s
fun and shows results in a relatively short
period of
time!
Edward Hallowell,
M.D., is a practicing psychiatrist, Harvard
faculty and author of numerous books on ADHD
including Driven to Distraction.
See an interview with Dr. Hallowell regarding
iLs and regulation on the iLs web
site.

WHAT'S
NEW
Ron Minson, M.D.
Presents at the SPD Conference in Seattle, WA -
November 14th
iLs’
Dr. Ron Minson will be presenting at the 2010
SPD Conference - on November 14th, in Seattle,
WA - entitled: "How Listening Therapy Improves
Performance: What parents and teachers need to
know."
Speaking of Dr.
Minson…
- iLs
Advanced Practitioner Training is coming up, in
Denver, CO - September 21-25. Take your training
to the next level by training with one of the
top international experts on auditory
therapy!
- A
new video,
featuring Dr. Minson and Dr. Hallowell, has been
posted on our website. The video is a brief
overview of how iLs therapy works.
Can I convert my old
equipment to iLs?
We
are often asked by clinicians who already own
non-iLs listening equipment if we can convert
their equipment to an iLs System.
It is
possible to use, or re-configure, some non-iLs
equipment so that it works with iLs, but only in
specific cases. Please send an email to
info@integratedlistening.com explaining your
situation and we’ll see if we can
help.
iLs Autism Network -

iLs
is receiving excellent feedback from clinicians
working with ASD children. In an effort to
stimulate dialog and share knowledge, we are
launching the iLs Autism Network. Any

email
expressing your interest.
We’ll email you back with directions on how to
access the Forum, our virtual meeting place on
the iLs web site.

Shorter Sleep
Durations Linked to Greater Risks of Mental
Distress in Young Adults -
Young adults who get fewer than eight hours of
