Learning
Ears®/TLP®
Language Development,
Reading and Comprehension
This
exciting new program, researched and developed by Moyers
Learning Systems, provides a huge amount of auditory stimulation
by overlapping ear-voice training with The
Listening Program®.
In order to be a functional communicator and learner,
an individual must be able to listen and think, read and
think, and say what he wants to say in a few words. The
ability to accurately read and receive oral language is
critical. In our experience, the majority of comprehension
problems are related to poor decoding of written material
and weak receptive language for oral material. When words
are not read or heard accurately and efficiently, comprehension
will be affected.
Listening is an active process and requires intention
and specific abilities to be able to receive and understand
information from our body and our environment. Not only
does our auditory system protect us from noises and sounds
we do not want to hear, it also provides energy to the
brain and body that results in effective processing and
thinking necessary for coordination, movement, balance,
language and literacy.
People of all ages can benefit from the training and exercises
in the Learning Ears®/TLP® program.
It is used effectively with students who are challenged
by language delays, communication disorders, learning
disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, developmental
delays and attention deficits. It is also appropriate
for individuals who want to improve their listening and
communication skills for professional and personal growth.
Clients, who complete the basic Learning Ears®/TLP®
program, will usually see improvement in their overall
listening, language, communication and learning abilities.
The exercises and assignments produce better voice quality,
intonation, verbal expression and pronunciation. Motor
skills, handwriting, and written expression can also improve.
New skills allow clients to meet physical, academic and
social challenges with increased motivation, new strategies
and successful outcomes.
An important premise behind sound therapy is that it stimulates
the brain to pay attention to a fuller spectrum of sound,
allowing the auditory system to work more efficiently
and providing the listener with alertness and better auditory
input.
As the auditory system is strengthened, it facilitates
more efficient learning and communication so that whatever
challenges the individual is dealing with can be overcome,
allowing the individual to operate with a new set of skills.
The Learning Ears® program trains the voice to incorporate
the full spectrum of sound frequencies that the ear can
now hear. The student uses a microphone in conjunction
with therapeutic listening while completing a variety
of language, reading and comprehension activities. In
this way, the voice becomes the on-going
stimulus for the auditory system.
