Background:An auditory processing disorder (APD) is a deficit in the receptive signals processed by an individual discrete from an impairment in peripheral hearing or another diagnosis. Auditory sensory over-responsivity (ASOR) is an over-responsive reaction elicited by auditory input that interferes with functioning. The Integrated Listening Systems (iLs) program is a sound-based intervention that involves listening to acoustically altered music with iLs bone and air conduction headphones while carrying out physically active movement, including visual-motor activities.Methods:The current study used a single-subject case study design to investigate the effect of a 12-week iLs protocol on a child with APD and ASOR. The frequency of the protocol varied from 3 to 5 days per week, and the average duration of the sessions was 27 minutes. Data were collected preintervention, midintervention, and postintervention with the Test of Auditory Processing Skills-3 and preintervention and postintervention with the iLs Measure of Foundational Abilities. In addition, responses to a parental behavioral observation log of sensory responses were recorded daily.Results:A clear decrease in auditory sensitivity was noted from pretreatment to posttreatment.Conclusion:Implementation of a 12-week iLs protocol led to a reduction in ASOR and reported improvements in the subject's activities of daily living and family interactions.Limitations:Because of the single-subject case study design, the generalizability of the findings is limited. Because of the single-subject case study design, the generalizability of the findings is limited. [[Annals of International Occupational Therapy. 2019; 2(2):91–100.] |
