New iLs Data: Elementary School Pilot Study, 2009
A total of 20 public school children participated in a 3-month Integrated
Listening Systems (iLs) pilot study in the 2008-09 school year. Students
and staff were from 4 schools – a combination of special education
and general education students. Teachers reported “significant improvement” in
19 of the 20 children in one or more areas: cognitive functioning, reading,
independent
task completion and behavior. 100% of the teachers involved in the pilot
study found the iLs program to be very effective. Mynd Works offers the
iLs program as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. To
learn more, download the study.

New Diagnostic Test Available
The Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) are the “gold standard” for

body in skilled tasks). The SIPT are designed for children ages 4-8 and
are significant predictors of arithmetic and reading performance. Now offered
as part of a comprehensive occupational therapy evaluation.
