NDD Therapy

LiFT Listening Therapy
Neuro Developmental Delay Therapy (NDD Therapy) is slow methodical movements that allow a child to work through their difficulties by recapturing earlier stages of development that may have been missed along the way.

As kids progress through NDD therapy, some may need listening therapy to stimulate further development of the auditory system.
The Listening Fitness Program (LiFT) is based on the developmental progress of the auditory system.

Most children who have experienced developmental delay / neurological dysfunction are usually behind in one or more academic subjects. Any follow-up curriculum to the Listening Fitness Program must be thoroughly immersed in the use of sounds to be effective
Therapy at ABC Foundations is NOT a cookie cutter approach
We do not have every child on the same therapy protocol. Each child is given a customized program based on their specific need.
We do not teach coping mechanisms or compensation techniques. Our therapy is completely drug free and allows a child to work through their difficulties by recapturing earlier stages of development that may have been missed along the way.
Uninhibited primitive reflexes and underdeveloped/ absent postural reflexes can show up as problems in reading and writing, which may involve eye movement, eye tracking and hand-eye coordination. These problems may be become identified as ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia, etc.
To determine a child's need, we : Review the screening and listening questionnaires filled out the parents to see if there are indicators for NDD.
If there are, we begin with :
- A comprehensive child assessment which includes non-invasive testing which measures performance over a number of skills: balance, coordination, patterns of motor development, the presence and/or absence of primitive and postural reflexes, visual functioning and perception.
- Additional auditory processing tests may be carried out.
- Academic status is also evaluated.
