SOS Approach to Feeding
As a certified SOS professional, Noor is passionate about helping her clients develop a healthy relationship with food.
The SOS Approach is the only results-driven feeding program with 30 years of proven clinical experience helping children learn the skills they need to eat well.
Therapeutic Listening
Noor is a certified Therapeutic Listening practitioner and has been using it to good effect with a number of her ASD clients.
Therapeutic Listening is a specific sound-based intervention that is embedded in a developmental and sensory integration perspective. The music in Therapeutic Listening gives the listener unique and precisely controlled sensory information. The music is electronically modified to highlight the parts of the sound spectrum that naturally capture attention and activate body movement, synchronizing it with the environment. Therapeutic Listening uses electronic modifications, along with the organized, rhythmical sound patterns inherent in music, to trigger the self-organizing capacities of the nervous system.
