"We know what we are, but know not what we may be"
William Shakespeare
Our vision is for all our clients to be able to achieve their fullest potential in life – we will do our very best to contribute to this objective.
Having obtained a clear picture of a person's condition through one of our assessments, we will recommend appropriate treatments. This may include one or more of our key programmes which use sound, light, colour and physical exercises to facilitate change towards better functioning.
All our programmes are non-invasive and drug-free and are personalised to take in the whole person the way they are and respect the individuality of each client. Our clients experience improvements in many different areas: physiological, emotional, social, educational. Sometimes results are immediate, often improvements continue to develop over a period of weeks or months. As each person is unique and at a different stage of development, we cannot guarantee results – however, our track record over the last 12 years shows that we often can instigate major changes though our treatments.
We have four key programmes, which are described in detail on their respective pages:
|
|
Sound programme: Auditory Integration Training (AIT). |
|
|
Light programme: Lightwave Stimulation (LWS). |
|
|
Development programme: Neuro-developmental Programme (NDP). |
|
|
Speech & Language: Self-Voice programme (SV). |
We have found that the combined application of sound and light treatment through the provision of Auditory Integration Training (AIT) and Lightwave Stimulation (LWS) is particularly effective for the majority of our clients. The Neuro-developmental (NDP) and the Self-Voice (SV) home programmes have been proved to be highly effective, either taken as stand-alone interventions, or to complement sound and light treatments.
We currently have outreach programmes in Scotland, Ireland and the Middle East and we also travel to treat groups in other parts of the U.K. and abroad. Further details can be found on the 'Outreach programmes' page.
We also provide guidance and information to parents and individuals, as well as to Health and Educational Professionals, through our training courses, Open House events, talks and presentations and through the information provided on this website.
People with severe difficulties are often shunned and 'written off', areas of particular difficulty are avoided and interactions are shaped to ensure the classroom, work or family environment can 'cope'.
However, activation is often a key component of starting to make a difference. This may come in many different forms, depending on the condition and particular circumstances of the person. The fact that a person cannot perform a particular task at this moment in time, should not exclude them from being given the opportunity to try. For instance, talk and interact with non-verbal people as if they can talk, involve people with physical difficulties as much as possible in physical activities and stimulate and activate as many senses as possible in order to have the best chance of meaningful communication with the person.
By openly acknowledging the difficulties we show respect and understanding for the intellect and inherent potential of the person.

What you see. We describe observable behaviours and conditions and provide indications to what these may be linked to. |

What's behind it. We explain how the senses and other systems can be the underlying causes of many of the difficulties. |
