Johansen Individualised Auditory Stimulation
What Is Johansen Sound Therapy
Johansen auditory stimulation is a home based Sound Therapy Program which involves listening to specially recorded music. Johansen is the only auditory stimulation program which uses music recording customised to the individual’s own hearing curve to organise and enhance auditory processing skills.
Children and adults with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, speech and language difficulties and autistic spectrum disorders may have inefficient auditory processing.

Johansen IAS music is specifically designed to gently change and organise auditory processing by stimulating the nerve pathways into and within the brain – in particular the areas dealing with language. Johansen IAS can be of benefit to children as young as three years old, adolescents and adults.
​
Johansen IAS addresses underlying processing which helps noticing, discrimination and organisation of the detail of sound. Better processing of the detail of sound increases concentration and attention, allowing more efficient learning.
​
Following Johansen Therapy, changes are also often seen in general composure, motivation and associated skills leading to increased confidence and self-esteem. Research suggests that stimulation is an important requirement for the maturation and changes in auditory processing that support speech, language and literacy development. The individually customised, focused stimulation of Johansen Therapy can contribute to the successful management of Listening and Auditory Processing Difficulties.
​
Johansen Therapy music is customised according to information obtained from individual assessment, including audiometry where appropriate. Johansen Therapy is the only form of sound therapy that both individualizes the music that the customer listens to and allows the customer to listen at home.
