What is Ils?

 

iLs provides programs that improve cognitive, language and social abilities. As our brain/body connection becomes more organized, we better process the world around us and become more confident, happy and engaged.

iLs is based on the fact that we can change our brain – we can essentially re-wire it through specific and repeated stimulation, a concept known as neuroplasticity. As in building strength and endurance with physical exercise, we are able to build neurological pathways and synaptic activity at any age.

​

iLs trains for brain/body integration through a staged approach, starting with the fundamentals of sensory integration and then extending through more complex cognitive functions, including language, self-expression and social skills.

THE BENEFIT

iLs has a global effect on the brain and central nervous system. As a result, it is successfully integrated into a wide variety of programs addressing the following needs.

​

Learning and Attention

• Reading fluency and comprehension

• Sensory and auditory processing

• Language skills: speech, processing, and articulation

​

Autism / Sensory Challenges

• Social skills

• Emotional regulation

• Sensory processing

• Fine and gross motor skills

​

Trauma and Anxiety

• Social and emotional difficulties

• Auditory sensitivities

• Stressors that impact social engagement

• Anxiety and trauma related challenges

​

Improved Brain Function

• Focus and sustained concentration

• Cognitive and motor multi-tasking, coordination

• Emotional balance and confidence

• Sensory and cognitive processing

THE Science Of How ILS Works

The notion that the brain is able to change in response to stimulation, an ability known as “neuroplasticity,” is now so widely accepted it can be called fact. iLs programs are based on this principle, providing gentle and specific stimulation in order to activate the neural pathways used in the processing of sensory information. Neuronal connections in these pathways are strengthened and new connections are established through repeated sessions of multi-sensory input. iLs programs are customized, i.e. individualized for each person’s therapeutic goals.
