What is it:

​

The iLS Focus System is a technology-based approach to improving brain function through brain and body integration via multisensory input. The Focus System includes programs for sensory & motor, concentration & attention, reading & auditory processing and more.

How does it work:

​

The iLS Focus System programs provide simultaneous multisensory input to help develop new, and reinforce existing, pathways governing organization of the body and brain function.

Therapeutic music is delivered via air and bone conduction headphones, providing auditory input to the brain and sensory input to the body. Movement activities, customizable for all levels, provide additional sensory and motor input for body organization.

Providing the brain with repeated input in unique, individualized combinations helps to improve the speed and accuracy of processing which, in turn, can help with a wide array of challenges. The brain, like any other muscle, can grow and change in response to proper input.

As a truly multi-sensory program, the Focus System is customizable for all skill levels.  The activities become more challenging as one progresses; and, as one’s ability to concentrate and process sensory information improves, confidence and self-regulation also build. 

The structure of Focus System program varies according to the individual’s needs. The programs are for suitable for home use to attain the suggested frequency of 3-5 times per week.

This approach develops a foundation that may never have been fully developed or was interrupted due to an event. With appropriate stimulation, the brain’s ability to successfully process and retain information leads to better academic outcomes together with an increased ability to control impulses, self-regulate behaviour and engage appropriately with others.
