Safe and Sound Protocol
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a listening-based program developed by Dr. Steven Porges, and designed to support nervous system regulation, improve auditory processing, and help children feel more calm, connected, and engaged.
Using five hours of specially filtered music in a structured, therapist-guided format, SSP can be a helpful home program enhancement to occupational therapy for children and families working on regulation, sound sensitivities, and social engagement.
SSP is a private-pay program that is not billable to insurance but may be covered by a waiver.

Therapeutic Listening
Therapeutic Listening (TL) is a sound-based program that supports nervous system regulation, attention, and sensory processing. It uses specially modified music to provide organized auditory input that may help children with focus, self-regulation, response to sound, motor planning, coordination, and participation in everyday routines. This program is highly individualized and works best as part of a broader therapy plan that includes movement, play, and other sensory-based activities.
TL is completed over two 30-minute listening sessions per day, up to seven days per week. TL is a private-pay program that is not billable to insurance but may be covered by a waiver. Due to need for ongoing biweekly monitoring, TL cannot be provided outside of an occupational therapy plan of care.

Teletherapy
For some children, teletherapy through our HIPAA-compliant portal may be appropriate and effective, following an in-person initial evaluation. Other children would substantially benefit from our well-equipped sensory gyms and treatment spaces in-clinic. Our therapists can help determine if teletherapy is right for your family. Teletherapy works best when:
travel to a clinic location would be difficult
parent or caregiver is available for the full duration of each session to facilitate and support therapy activities under the therapist’s direction
To participate in teletherapy, you need:
laptop, Chromebook, or tablet with microphone and camera, which can be moved as needed for different therapy activities
good, reliable internet connection
