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.

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.
