Kevin is getting his third session with the Solisten Headphones, also known as the Tomatis Method. Our last session was about a year ago. It is a listening training device to educate the human ear with regard to the listening function. This is a program that he listens to for 2 hours a day for 13 consecutive days. It transmits the sound by a vibrator (on top of the headphone) that connects with the skull. The sound goes directly to the inner ear without passing through the tympanum. This may help improve emotion, language, memory, and attention.
Kevin is making all kinds of wonderful sounds during this session with the Solisten Headphones. One of his favorites is blowing his lips (blowing raspberries) and then turning it into a "b" sound. So I try to think of all kinds of "b" words to say. One of my favorites is while we are Blowing Bubbles.
It can be additionally helpful for him to swing or rock while listening to the headphones, so we often go to the park for some swinging.
