INTEGRATED LISTENING SYSTEM (ILS)
I am now certified as an iLS Practitioner, which will complement the occupational therapy treatments I provide through my A+ Handwriting program. What is iLS? Integrated Listening System (iLS) is a cutting edge therapeutic treatment technique based on the science of neuroplasticity, which has a global effect on the brain to process sensory, cognitive, and emotional information more effectively. Research studies on the use of the iLS method with children and adults with sensory processing, attention deficits, stress, sleep-related issues, and/or learning difficulties have demonstrated remarkable improvements in many areas of function, which transcend the results typically achieved in OT programs. I am especially excited to offer the iLS treatment to my current clients, along with their individualized OT plan. I will offer iLS to new clients beginning in June, 2015. Here is a link, which also has a video explanation of the iLS method: http://integratedlistening.com/ils-at-home/
Here is a link to a number of published research articles regarding the phenomenal results obtained using the iLS method:

~Marla Scaglione, MS, OTR/L
while learning to read and doing handwriting, we were at a loss.After listening carefully to our concerns, Marla gave her an evaluation and we were amazed at how thorough it was! She discovered midline issues we didn’t even know existed and continued by helping us understand visual loss, auditory processing disorder and disgraphia. She handled our numerous questions with ease and even recommended some books to help us.
Rose has been in session with Marla for a few months and she loves it. She can’t wait to do her “homework” during the week and constantly tells us how much fun OT is! We have seen a huge improvement in such a short time. Rose has gained control of her visual loss and the consequences for her reading and handwriting have been tremendous. Marla is very kid oriented and we have seen her challenge Rose but is always encouraging and supportive. We are very grateful for her knowledge and experience as our daughter’s occupational therapist.
