TOMATIS

Our team is trained in the TOMATIS Method. We have a talksup device that you can rent and use in the comfort of your own home.

Find us on FACEBOOK on our page TOMATIS JOHANNESBURG.

This is a 14-day program where you listen to the music for 80 minutes per day.

Here is a description of the Tomatis method from their website www.tomatis.com.

The ear is the most powerful sensory integrator of the human body. More than 80% of the stimulation our brain receives comes from our ear. On one hand, it has a major role in the cerebral stimulation of the brain, and on the other hand, it has a positive action on the cerebral plasticity of the brain. This explains how it interacts in many fields of application. The Tomatis® Method is a complementary tool to most therapeutic or pedagogical support. It makes it possible to multiply the results obtained, and thus significantly reduce the duration of a traditional therapeutic or medical plan. It can be used at any age (children, adults or seniors) and it can be used for one’s personal development to help fight most difficulties and disorders.

INTERACTIVE METRONOME

Our team is trained to facilitate your training on an interactive metronome.

Copied from their webpage, http://www.interactivemetronome.com, here is what it does:

Interactive Metronome® (IM) is an evidence-based assessment and training tool that measures & improves Neurotiming, or the synchronization of neural impulses within key brain networks for cognitive, communicative, sensory & motor performance. As the individual activates a trigger in time with a steady auditory beat, IM technology provides real-time auditory and visual feedback for millisecond timing. Knowing whether he is hitting before, after, or exactly in sync with the beat to the millisecond allows the individual to make immediate, online corrections to improve timing & rhythm over the course of training.

Peer-reviewed studies repeatedly confirm the importance of timing & rhythm for human performance. According to IM research, improving Neurotiming may result in better function in the following areas:

  • Attention
  • Processing Speed
  • Working Memory
  • Executive Functions
  • Self-Regulation
  • Expressive and Receptive Language
  • Reading Comprehension, Rate & Fluency
  • Mathematics
  • Upper Extremity Function (Parkinson’s, hemiplegia, CP, hand function)
  • Motor Coordination
  • Athletic Performance (golf, soccer)
