Acoustically-Modified Music: Brain Based Training for Improving Auditory Processing and Sound Hypersensitivity
People with autism often have auditory processing deficits, and may exhibit hypersensitivities to sound. Auditory processing affects attention, learning, communication, self regulation, and social engagement; and those with auditory hypersensitivities have negative “fight/flight” reactions to sound. This talk will explore using acoustically-modified music for facilitation of brain plasticity, improved auditory processing, and reduction of emotional stress responses to sound.
