The aim of SAS Trainings is to strengthen basic neurosensory brain functions. The unique SAS technology allows the preparation of individually tailored workouts that take into account the skills, needs and wishes of the patient in the context of his or her abilities, thereby influencing the effectiveness of the results. The workouts are available in four variations.
SAS-Smart training – Strengthening learning for children and adults
Trainings for school-aged children (starting at age 5), students and adults who want to improve their learning. Most personalised SAS-Smart Trainings require listening to a one-hour session each day for 20-24 days over four weeks. SAS-Smart Trainings include orchestral or piano music and speech, sequenced.
Areas of action:
- attention and concentration: reducing absentmindedness, strengthening the ability to focus and manage hyperactivity;
- reading and writing: developing more accurate and faster processing of speech functions in the left hemisphere of the brain
- understanding and memory: improving synchronisation between the two hemispheres and strengthening sensory integration;
- behaviour and motivation: reducing stress and anxiety caused by various factors, improving time management skills, planning and responsibility for one’s own actions.
SAS-Boost training – Support for children with developmental delays
Training to support children from the age of 3 with neurological conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, infantile cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. Training lasts between 24 and 28 days and can be supplemented with additional therapy, tailored to the child’s needs. In addition to music and speech, programmes can also include the following elements: pitch differentiation, time orientation training. It is possible to prepare programmes containing recordings of your own voice to stimulate speech development.
Areas of activity:
- sensory processing: improving sensory separation and filtering skills and reducing sensory overload;
- repetitive behaviour: reducing stress and anxiety and thus eliminating the need for replacement behaviour;
- speech and language: activation of the language and speech centres of the left cerebral hemisphere;
- social skills: strengthening the ability to recognise other people’s faces and to be aware of other people’s diversity and expectations.
SAS-Balance Training – Psychotherapeutic and neurosensory programmes for adults.
Personalised training for adults to reduce stress, anxiety, fear or anger and improve focus, clarity of situations to facilitate decision making. SAS-Balance programmes are relaxing and calming. A daily session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
Areas of action:
- anxiety and fear: relaxing the body and mind and blocking repetitive negative thoughts that can lead to obsessive neurosis;
- depression: redirecting from negative thinking to positive thinking towards taking positive steps forward;
- anger/rage management: reducing impulsive reactions and strengthening cognitive skills, assertiveness;
- indecisiveness: improving innate creativity, visualising the ability to plan and take action.
SAS-Life Training – Personalised programmes to support older people.
Workouts for the elderly to help improve daily functioning, communication and quality of life. Each SAS-Life Workout is designed to achieve specific results, so the duration of the workout can vary for each patient. The programmes can be listened to while the patient is asleep or even in a coma.
Areas of activity:
- strengthening auditory processing to improve communication in noisy environments;
- cognitive abilities: improving synchronisation between the two hemispheres and their sensory coherence;
- hearing improvement: stimulating auditory acuity – improving its physiological and phonemic function (ability to perceive and interpret salient features from the speech signal);
- post-stroke rehabilitation: recovery of speech and motor skills after stroke or other dysfunctions.
