EASe Newsletter January 2012 - EASe app for the iPod Gen 2, iPad and iPhone

Therapists and Parents respond to the EASe app!

JOPPA, MARYLAND – In November 2011, Vision Play LLC in collaboration with Audioforge Labs announced the release of the EASe app for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch Gen 2. The EASe app is the first app designed to stimulate, challenge, and promote sensory processing in children on the autism spectrum and others experiencing difficulty with sensory processing and organization.

After using the EASe app, therapists report that children are better able to tolerate noisy environments, react less to new stimuli, improve eye contact and connection with others, are more receptive to language, improve vestibular movement and tolerance to motion, and have better task organization and play skills.

"I have 6 children listening to the music using the Seinheiser headphones. Nothing but good to report. I have had no problem with the application-works great. This is the 2nd week and all of them have made some positive changes: -Awareness/interaction of their environment -Improvement in vestibular movement and tolerance of movement -Receptive language -Increase in play skills -Good tolerance of music-seem to enjoy listening" - Roessler, OTR/L"

Mothers report their children being more able to cope with stressful environments and many are already requesting that the EASe app be included in their IEP.

“The effect of the EASe app on my son was noticeable immediately. A physical manifestation of the release of his stress was visible in both his body posture and countenance. He became more relaxed and indicated that he enjoyed the music and stated that it made him feel calm. The initial trial was undertaken just prior to his bedtime. It is interesting to note that my son tends to have a difficult time falling asleep, and yet that evening, he drifted off much more quickly than usual.The following day, my son returned home from school in a state of high anxiety, having experienced a number of meltdowns throughout the day. As he was on the verge of another meltdown, I suggested that he try to use the EASe app to see if that would help him. My son agreed and we went to his bedroom, his quiet spot within the home. I

observed him as he located the app on his iPad and began using it. He quickly settled and opted to continue listening to the EASe app. He was later able to state that the music helped him feel calmer.

After noting success with the EASe app at home, I requested permission for my son to bring his iPod to school in order to listen to the app at times when he is experiencing difficulties due to sound overload. Already, the feedback from the teaching staff has been quite positive, and my son is much better able to deal with the sounds around him within his educational environment by listening to his EASe app. In fact, work is underway to have his iPod and the EASe app added to his Individual Education Plan so that he will be granted continued permission to benefit from its use in school. by Kate Dykstra, B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.

Vision Play is pleased to announce seven new EASe Music Modules are available for the EASe app Pro at: http://www.vision-audio.com/ease-app-music.html

EASe app Music Modules are specially prepared collections of instrumental music, designed to provide the EASe app Pro with a perfectly balanced frequency response and dynamic musical experience capable of challenging and enhancing a child’s auditory processing. With EASe app Music Modules, an EASe Listening Therapy program can be extended from days to weeks and made that much more effective.

How EASe works. It’s simple really: EASe app Listening Therapy consists of pleasant, up-tempo, instrumental songs, encoded by a two stage, dynamically variable filter set. The stage-one low pass filter reduces high frequencies and causes the music to sound smooth and muted. A variable second stage equalizer then boosts the high frequencies in intense, random pulses, causing a short sensory shock to the listener’s neuroauditory system. The auditory shock is intense enough to cause a neurological response but short enough to avoid causing a fight or flight response in the listener. Once the listener’s brain learns that the noises are not threatening, it begins to habituate to them and eventually to listen through them to the music itself. After the session is complete, the patient automatically applies this newly learned habituation skill to the

world at large, becoming more in control of his or her auditory environment.

EASe audio and video game listening therapy programs can be carried out at home, at school or in a therapist's office with inexpensive electronic equipment and high-quality headphones. EASe audio CDs, developed in 1995, are the original disc-based listening therapy program. EASe video games use the same sound technology in a fun, video game environment that stimulates and challenges sensory pathways to promote appropriate sound response, balance, organization and attention.

EASe products are easy-to-use, simple and safe tools to help parents, occupational, physical, speech and listening therapists, help children challenged with sensory processing issues, central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), and developmental issues learn to manage noise, improve organization, sensory modulation and proprioception.

Sensitive to Noise? Try the EASe CD: A Sound Approach to Learning

EASe Newsletter Feb 2012 - The EASe Listening Therapy app on Fox News

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) affects at least one in twenty people in the general population. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer in silence with SPD because they do not know the world could be any different for them. When young children are afflicted with SPD, all other aspects of their development are affected resulting in life-long difficulties.

SPD presents unique symptoms and should be diagnosed accurately. Treatment for SPD is typically a play-based intervention in a sensory-rich environment designed to challenge and train appropriate responses to sensory stimulation using OT, listening therapy or integrated movement and listening therapies with a sensory integration approach.

Electronic Auditory Stimulation effect (EASe) tools

Since 1995 EASe therapeutic products have been used by tens of thousands of therapists, teachers and parents to help children challenged with SPD to learn to cope with noise, improve sensory defensiveness, verbal and non verbal communication, organization, sleep management and proprioception. EASe music CDs have been studied as part of the Therapeutic Listening® program and EASe games have recently been found effective in a pilot study at Brenau university. The EASe Listening Therapy app for Apple iDevices is the newest tool designed to empower therapists to effectively treat children with SPD.

The EASe Listening Therapy app was recently featured in the First Look program at Macworld 2012.

EASe app on FOX NEWS

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/02/05/solution-for-sensory-disorders/ When Fox contacted us with the request to videotape an expert with a family using the EASe Listening Therapy app, we contacted Laurette Olson, PhD OTR/L FAOTA Professor - Graduate Program in Occupational Therapy at Mercy College, in New York, author and one of the country’s preeminent authorities on sensory processing issues in brain-injured children. Dr. Olson contacted Marcia Hacohen, an Occupational Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience to demonstrate the use of the EASe Listening Therapy app. Marcia contacted Vozza whose son has had SPD, specifically auditory processing disorder, since he was a toddler. The interviews are wonderful and the results are impressive. Please see for yourself by clicking on the link above.

The EASe Listening Therapy app is helping families cope with SPD and it is only weeks old. However, widespread adoption in the OT community is not guaranteed and so we need your help. If you believe it is important to provide children with better options for SPD, please contact your local Fox News station and request that they air the EASe Listening Therapy app segment. Your one call or email could change the life of a child for the better. To find your local Fox News contact info click here.
