This non-invasive intervention involves listening to music that has been processed specifically to retune the nervous system (regulating state) to introduce a sense of safety and the ability to socially engage. This allows the client to better interpret not only human speech, but, importantly, the emotional meaning of language. Once interpersonal interactions improve, spontaneous social behaviors and an enhanced ability to learn, self-regulate and engage are often seen.  

Individuals sit quietly listening to the music or undertake a relaxing task like colouring. Children and adults alike must be accompanied by another person with whom they feel safe and secure for the duration of the listening session. This is critical to activate and reinforce the social engagement system for optimal impact in rebalancing the autonomic nervous system.
