Tomatis Australia

Tomatis Australia in Waitara provides a neuro-sensory educational programme known as the Tomatis Method. This approach is designed to help retrain the auditory system, aiming to improve the connections between the ear, the brain, and the body. The core of the method involves auditory stimulation, which seeks to enhance auditory processing, balance, and coordination for both children and adults.

The programme utilises filtered and modified music, primarily compositions by Mozart, delivered through specialised headphones that feature both air and bone conduction. This process is intended to stimulate the brain and nervous system. The objective is to re-educate the listening process, which may lead to improvements in a variety of physical, cognitive, and interpersonal skills. The Tomatis Method is presented as a non-invasive, educational intervention.

This method is applied to address a range of difficulties. It is often used to support individuals with challenges related to learning, communication, motor skills, and emotional regulation. Reported benefits of the programme include enhancements in attention, concentration, language and socialisation skills, as well as learning abilities like reading and comprehension. It also aims to promote better emotional balance and self-awareness.
