Johansen IAS is an auditory stimulation programme. It is home-based, customized Sound Therapy, involving daily listening for 10 - 15 minutes to specially recorded tracks, designed to stimulate the nerve pathways into and within the brain - in particular the areas dealing with language. It is customised to the audiogram taken during the assessment. Many individuals choose to listen at bedtime when relaxing. Children from 3-years old, adolescents and adults can all benefit from Johansen IAS. 

​

Programme length is dependent on age:

• 3-6 years: around 8 months. Young children, who would find a full assessment difficult, will be given music appropriate to their needs. A discussion is had with parent/carer to gain an understanding of the child’s difficulties and to recommend music (if appropriate). Reviews - discussion with parent/ carer - every 4-6 weeks, when new music is provided. 

• 7-12 years: around 10 months. Reviews every 10 weeks when new music is provided.

• adolescents: around 12 months. Reviews every 10 weeks when new music is provided.

• adults: up to 18 months. Reviews every 12-15 weeks when new music is provided.
