EASe CD Newsletter November 2011 - Free EASe app for the iPod, iPad and iPhone: Free EASe app for the first 50 responders! JOPPA, MARYLAND – Children with autism and others with sensory processing disorder (SPD) now have an app specifically designed to help them cope with noise and the sensory world. The EASe Listening Therapy app is available in three versions – EASe Lite, EASe Personal and EASe Pro -- at the iTunes store http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/electronic-auditory-stimulation/id472604387?ls=1&mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/electronic-auditory-stimulation/id472591104?ls=1&mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/electronic-auditory-stimulation/id461769387?ls=1&mt=8 The EASe Listening Therapy app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad was developed by Audioforge Labs and Vision Play, LLC, for children with autism and others with SPD, who often respond to noise with exaggerated reactions, distraction, and behavioral or learning issues. EASe Listening Therapy uses music to deliver short, intense bursts of sound, creating a sensory palette of sonic experiences that can help a child learn to cope with typical environmental conditions. After using the program, therapists report that children are better able to tolerate noisy and busy environments, react less to new stimuli, improve eye contact and connection with others, are more receptive to language, improve vestibular movement and tolerance to movement, and have better task organization and play skills. The EASe Listening Therapy app exceeds the functionality and performance of hardware devices costing many thousands of dollars and is available in three versions: EASe Lite ($.99) is a demo with one song and full functionality except for audio import. Sound settings can be customized and the app comes with four pre-set programs to help a parent or therapist get up and running with the program very quickly. EASe Personal ($39.99) includes the full EASe app and a 60-minute module of instrumental music, enough to complete a ten-hour EASe program, with two half-hour sessions a day over a ten-day period. EASe Pro ($99.00) includes the full EASe app and a 60-minute module of instrumental music, and also is capable of importing a wide range of specially prepared albums available at www.easecd.com. Typically, 40% to 80% of children on the autism spectrum and as many as 20% of the well population exhibit an auditory processing disorder (APD). Marie Gomot, Ph.D., and other researchers have concluded that APD is a disorder of the brain, not the ear, making its correction a potentially teachable skill. The new EASe app and Vision Audio’s other EASe products – therapeutic music CDs and video games – are based on the principles of sensory integration and neurological organization taught by Jean Ayres Ph.D. Audioforge Labs and Vision Play, LLC, developed the EASe Listening Therapy app in cooperation with Vision Audio Inc., creators of the popular EASe therapeutic CDs and video games for children on the autism spectrum. EASe audio and video game listening therapy programs can be carried out at home, at school or in a therapist's office with inexpensive electronic equipment and high-quality headphones. EASe audio CDs, developed in 1995, are the original disc-based listening therapy program. EASe video games use the same sound technology in a fun, video game environment that stimulates and challenges sensory pathways to promote appropriate sound response, balance, organization and attention. EASe products are easy-to-use, simple and safe tools to help parents, occupational, physical, speech and listening therapists better manage noise, improve organization, sensory modulation and proprioception in children challenged with sensory processing issues, central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), and developmental issues.

It’s simple really: EASe app songs consist of pleasant, up-tempo, instrumental music, encoded by a dynamically variable filter set. The initial low pass filter causes the music to sound soothingly muted and dull. A dynamic equalizer then dramatically boosts the high frequencies in random, short pulses, causing a small sensory shock to the listener’s neuroauditory system. The shock is intense enough to cause a slight reaction but short enough to avoid causing a fight or flight response in the listener. Once the listener’s brain learns that the small shocks are not threatening, it begins to habituate to them and eventually starts concentrating on the music itself. Once the session is complete, this newly learned habituation skill is automatically applied to the world at large, leaving the listener more in control of his or her auditory environment.
