Integrated Listening System (ILS) Focus
The ILS Focus System is a program for improving brain and body function. The activities are fun and can easily be customized for all ages and skill levels.
The combined elements of a Focus Program – music, movement and language – begin with building the foundational supports for body organisation. As the body becomes organised, so does the brain. With increased organisation the brain can process information from our environment, sustain attention and learn.
The beauty of addressing brain function at this foundational level is that we become mentally and emotionally resilient, effective at school or work and more socially adept. For example:
Dynamic balance, proprioceptive abilities improve – a child finally learns to ride a bicycle
Faster processing speed – student pays attention and catches on more quickly
Eyes and ears are working together – third grader is now reading at grade level
Gross and fine motor systems are integrated – handwriting improves
Emotions are controlled – no detention, more friends at school
Stronger working memory – better at math and reading comprehension
Sustained attention – no longer distracting others and less impulsive
