Description

Sensory Integration (SI) Kids CD 1 contains musical selections that were recorded because they were fun, simple in structure, short, and very accessible. Focusing on all of these elements means that a child's attention can more easily be captured and maintained.

SI Kids 1 has a significant focus on spatial awareness and sound localization. With new technologies and creative elements in recording and post-production, we are able to provide auditory stimulation in a totally new way than we have ever been able to do before.

It incorporates a combination of new processes called Spatial Surround™ (patent pending). By creating Spatial Surround, the listener is placed in the position of the conductor of an orchestra. In the middle of the orchestra, the conductor will hear sounds more individually, some very close and some a little farther away. Instead of blended sounds as you might hear them in front of the orchestra at a concert, you too will hear sounds more individually as the musicians play them around you. You as the listener can now more clearly determine the spatial properties of the sound. We add movement to the treatment to create Spatial Surround Dynamic. This is accomplished by processing the music in a multi-channel environment that uses five completely independent tracks. This process allows us to move the sound of each instrument around in a 360 degree field.


Music

The music selected and recorded for Sensory Integration Kids CD 1 includes early compositions by Mozart as well as Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, and instrumental versions of traditional folk music and nursery rhymes.


Applications

Sensory Integration Kids CD 1 stimulates the lower sound frequencies to help people who have problems related to the vestibular system and integration of sensory input. Although this is not an all inclusive list, issues that may be helped include: balance, movement, coordination, rhythm, body schema, left-right discrimination, spatial awareness, sensory defensiveness, hypersensitive hearing, and emotional regulation. Individuals on the autistic spectrum benefit greatly from this CD as do those who need a better sense of their body, feeling more comfortable and grounded through the stimulation of the lower frequencies before experiencing CDs with high pass filtration such as those in The Listening Program Classic Kit. Additionally, SI Kids 1 may help with athletic ability through improved body and spatial awareness, as well as improved balance and motor integration.
