Bill,
You were asking about using a quote, so I wondered if you wanted my story.
It thought I would take a stab at explaining my use of EASe.
I am a pediatric occupational therapist who became certified in Therapeutic
Listening last summer. I decided to try it on myself, knowing of my sensory
processing and organizational issues. Within 2 weeks I noticed a tremendous
improvement in my attention, organization and confidence as well as ability
to multitask, which I always had difficulty with. There were no more
"knots" in my stomach when faced with too much.
I eventually went off my
medication for OCD and ADHD and have felt wonderful.
I used it for 6 weeks
initially and then just started it again due to having too much
on my plate
and feeling overwhelmed. Again, after 2 weeks I feel so organized
and at "Ease".
I began using the EASe CD's with the children I work with and saw
unbelievable gains in motor planning ability, organization, taking a risk
with motor tasks they never would have done before, and social skills. I
contacted Bill due to difficulty finding enough music to interest boys
ages 8 to 14 and he introduced me to the EASe [games] which have already
helped several children.
The video games combine the therapeutic music with
visual input to further organize the vestibular/visual/auditory triad and
provided children with internal organization to improve motor skills,
academics, attention and behavior. The videos are highly motivating for
these children and therefore they are willing to listen to the music. I
can't thank the Muellers enough for their dedication to children and music.
