Specialty Programs

Family Achievement Center provides many Specialty Treatment Programs such as:

• Integrated Listening System: This program involves listening to filtered music through specialized headphones through air & bone conduction.
• Interactive Metronome® (IM): This program challenges the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot motor exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones.
• Therapeutic Listening®(TL): This program involves using specially modulated music through headphones to activate both the auditory and vestibular (balance) systems simultaneously. This serves to set up the nervous system to prepare it for emerging skills. This is a home-based treatment program delivered under the guidance of a trained therapist.
• Safe & Sound Protocol: The SSP was developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, a psychologist, after nearly 40 years of research on the role of the autonomic nervous system in emotional regulation.
• Berard Auditory Integrative Training © (AIT): This program involves listening to modified music through specialized equipment to improve auditory hypersensitivity, distortions, and delays in the signals that interfere with an individual’s ability to process auditory information normally. This is an in-clinic strategy delivered by a trained therapist.
• QuickShifts®: This approach involves listening to modified music through specialized headphones in order to promote the development of specific skills such as sensory regulation, calming, bilateral coordination, fine and gross motor skills, and social interactions. This program can be used in conjunction with traditional therapy services.
• PROMPT©: This program is a multidimensional approach to address speech/articulation impairments using a physical-sensory aspect of motor performance, cognitive-linguistic, and social-emotional features. This is an in-clinic strategy provided by a trained therapist.
• Talk Tools®: This program uses a variety of tools (i.e. horns, bubbles, straws, etc) to provide specific physical feedback to the structures of the mouth in order. This helps improve the coordination, stability and awareness of mouth structures such as the lips, jaw, tongue in order to improve the clarity of speech. This is used in conjunction with traditional speech therapy.
• Beckman Oral Motor ©: This program uses a specific pattern of stretches and exercises in order to strengthen and improve the coordination of the muscles of the jaw, lips, cheeks, and tongue.
