Yoga for Autism
and Special Needs
Yoga as a form of therapy is tailored to support the child in the various domains in human development – cognitive, communication, motor skills, and social-emotional.
Appropriate yoga tools are then matched to the child’s developmental and learning ability while working towards specific milestones and goals.
Yoga-based strategies such as asanas (yoga poses / movement), pranayama (yogic breathing), progressive relaxation, and netra vyayama (eye exercises and tracking) among others, are introduced to children in a fun and interactive approach to allow them to feel successful. As they learn through repetition, new challenges are presented along the way to build self-esteem and confidence.
Safe & Sound
Protocol (SSP)
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music. As a practical application of the Polyvagal Theory, the SSP acts as a non-invasive, acoustic vagal nerve stimulator, helping to re-tune the nervous system to better support connection, collaboration and resilience. The SSP involves listening to specially filtered music through headphones alongside a provider, in-person or remotely. Suitable for children and adults, the SSP has demonstrated benefits for individuals with trauma, anxiety, sensory processing differences and more.
Integrated Listening
Systems (ILS)
The Integrated Listening Systems is a therapeutic intervention that combines auditory stimulation with other sensory and cognitive activities to improve brain function and address various challenges related to learning, communication, and sensory processing. iLs is often used in clinical settings by occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and other professionals working with individuals of different ages, including children and adults.
