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

EASe Newsletter - EASe Games pilot study at Brenau university JOPPA, MARYLAND – March 18, 2012 Sensory Processing Disorder Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) refers to an individual’s inability to appropriately respond to sensory information. Lights can be blinding, sounds deafening and touch can feel like a burn. SPD can result in anxiety, depression, self stimulation, attention deficit, proprioception and balance issues, fine motor skills and occupational difficulties. It is estimated that SPD affects one in twenty people in the general population. When young children are afflicted with SPD, all other aspects of their development are affected resulting in life-long challenges. EASe Games - Evidence based software Treatment for SPD is typically a play-based intervention in a sensory-rich environment designed to challenge and train appropriate responses to sensory stimulation, employing movement and listening therapies with a sensory integrative approach. EASe Listening Therapy music CDs have been used by tens of thousands of therapists, parents and institutions since 1995 and have been studied as an element of Therapeutic Listening© since 2007. Game software can be useful in providing an immersive sensory environment and a degree of motivation that encourages an individual to become actively engaged with their own therapy. EASe PC Games integrate a challenging virtual vestibular driving or flying environment, auditory stimulation in the form of EASe music and an ABA discrete trial trainer in the form of a treasure hunt in EASe Off Road and Funhouse games. During the fall of 2011, researchers at Brenau University conducted an independent pilot study of EASe games and concluded the following: “Conclusion The hypothesis that the use of Electronic Auditory Stimulation Effect (EASe) games for 28 days, twice a day for thirty minutes would significantly improve a child’s visual attention skills, spatial organization skills and occupational performance at home, as measured by EASe game tracking scores was supported by the significant predicted outcomes calculated using the Semiparametric Ratio Estimator (SPRE). Our results conclude that EASe interactive games, Fun House and Off Road, provided multi system sensory input that promoted improved sensory modulation as evidenced by the percent increase in the participants’ ability to habituate to interactive EASe game play. The findings of this study conclude that, based on Fun House means predictions with a p-value of .024 and a high R^2 at the change point, the benefit of using EASe games and music compact discs seen in this study’s participants could be generalized to the greater population of children with sensory sensitivities. “ This study will soon be posted at www.easecd.com/independent_study.html Free EASe Listening Therapy app for Apple iDevices for qualified therapists The EASe Listening Therapy app for Apple iDevices is the newest tool created to empower therapists to provide effective relief for SPD.
