About iLs Programs

Using the ILS system: catching a ball, while balancing.

Building upon the psychoacoustic techniques originally developed in Europe and further refined over the past 8 years in the U.S. by Dynamic Listening Systems (DLS), iLs programs combine auditory stimulation with balance, movement and visual motor activities.

The design of iLs programs is based around the listening component. Each product has a specific listening schedule, into which the balance and visual activities are included. These “integrating” activities comprise 15-20 minutes of each listening session, and are explained in a Playbook which accompanies each product.

iLs Program Structure

iLs Professional Programs

Based on the iLs Pro and iLs 1000 an iLs Professional program is centre based and are typically 15 to 60 sessions, with 30 being the most common. Frequency of attendance is 3 or more sessions per week. Each session is 80 minutes long, with 15-20 minutes allotted for the integration activities. The balance of each session is spent doing creative and/or relaxing activities such as drawing, puzzles, fine-motor games, or just relaxing in a comfortable chair.

iLs Home Programs

Home Programs are designed to be flexible; listening sessions can be either 30 or 60 minutes in length. The entire program is typically completed over a 3 to 12 month period, with six months being the most common period.
