The first step towards starting on a Johansen IAS programme involves assessment by a Registered Johansen IAS Provider.
Assessment will include the use of checklists to gather background information, a listening audiogram if appropriate, together with formal and informal tests to explore the individual’s profile of strengths and difficulties. Once a picture of the individual’s difficulties has been gained Johansen IAS will be discussed and explained.
Johansen IAS is a home (or school) based Sound Therapy programme which involves daily listening to CDs with specially recorded music for 10 to 15 minutes through over-the ear headphones. Many individuals choose to listen at bedtime when they are relaxed and daytime activities are not interrupted.
