| LISTENING PROGRAMS |
|
|
|
|
OELP is a sound stimulation, selected auditory training intervention
that is home-based. Each program is carefully monitored
by an OEC facilitator who supplies the program, including
the equipment, and monitors each client's progress
over a 12-week period, with follow up testing.
I. The home program consists of specially developed
CDs, an electronic listening device, special
voice techniques and individually designed programs.
Home programs are closely monitored by a listening facilitator.
II. The Tomatis Method is offered at outreach sites
at different times each year in group settings for
children and adults. Email Dr. Pat Cook for 2008 program
dates.
The OEC, in conjunction with the Dallas Learning Center, is an authorized provider of the Tomatis
Method and Listening Fitness Training Programs
designed for educational purposes.
The
Tomatis Method Program is for children and adults
with learning disabilities, poor organizational and
academic skills and for persons interested in the
enhancement of communication and social skills. We
address difficulties in behavior, reading, speech
and the development of the voice.
Since
1991, we have worked nationally with children and
adults offering ongoing programs in the Tomatis Method
of auditory stimulation and the Listening Fitness

| WORKSHOPS |
|
|
|
This weekend workshop will introduce you to how sound and music are used in the home and clinical settings to help heal and promote spiritual growth.
Sound and music have been used successfully to intercept illness,through relaxation and stimulation, pain control and stress reduction, or emotional catharsis. The conscious
use of music promotes physical and mental wellness, and connects us spiritually. In many cultures, different sounds play a primary role in the death and dying process.
Through experiential practices, demonstrations and discussion, you will be introduced to a healing music repertoire and select therapeutic techniques. Participants will be able
to incorporate what they've learned into their professional practice and personal life style.
Pat Moffitt Cook, Ph.D., is renowned in the USA as a pioneer
in the use of cross-cultural sound and music in healthcare.
She is the founder and director of the Open Ear Center in
Seattle, Washington, a society that specializes in training
healthcare professionals and laypersons in the use of sound
and music to facilitate the healing process.
Pat is a teacher, clinician and the author of numerous
articles and several books. Her doctoral work in music paralleled
extensive practical training and certification in methods
of Auditory Stimulation and Sensory Integration and in Guided
Imagery and Music. For over 25 years Pat has traveled extensively
throughout the world, recording and participating in musical
rituals and the daily life of other cultures. She presents
internationally at university, medical and music and sound
therapy conferences in applications of sound technology,
auditory stimulation, music and imagery, and on indigenous
music in healing traditions.
