Case Study: Discovering the bonds of connection - Unyte Integrated Listening Mom is pleased with the results after the SSP, saying this is better connection than she has ever experienced with her daughter.

Pro players take this eye test – have you?

In sports, almost 80% of perceptual input is visual. But even 20/20 vision does not mean athletes are performing at their peak. Objects don’t just sit there. They move. Fast. Regular eye exams may reveal that you can see clearly, but they can’t tell how well you ascertain where a ball is in space, how fast it’s traveling or if it’s changing direction. Using a RightEye Sports Vision test, we can precisely measure the specific vision skills that affect your reflexes and hand-eye coordination, including:

- Eye speed
- Reaction time
- Visual concentration
- Processing speed
- Object tracking

In just 5 minutes, we can put you a path to upping your game. Call our office today to schedule your RightEye Sports Vision EyeQ test.

At-Home Vision Exercises

If you’ve been diagnosed with a functional or sports vision issue, our doctors can set you up with at-home exercises you can do online. All you need is a computer and an internet connection.

Based on your RightEye EyeQ test results, we’ll assign a series of exercises you complete at home under our supervision. EyeQ Trainer is a non-invasive, computer-based treatment proven to help improve your functional vision. It rehabilitates all six movement systems of the eye and promotes positive neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to make important neural connections.

Key benefits of the solution include:

- Simple, low-intensity exercises
- Done at home, on your own schedule
- Uses your own computer
- Takes just 5 minutes, twice a day
- Trains all 12 eye muscles
- Noticeable improvement, often within a few weeks

The result — improved functional vision and smoother, more accurate eye movements — can lead to better focus and concentration, improved balance and hand-eye coordination, and enhanced performance in everything from reading to driving to sports. EyeQ Trainer is personalized to your specific needs, so that we can focus on those areas that affect you most.

Dynamic Vision Testing

Your two eyes and brain must all work together to navigate the world. It’s this connection that makes up your dynamic vision. A standard eye exam, however, only checks your eyes’ physical health and ability to focus on stationary objects — it doesn’t measure critical dynamic vision skills such as eye movement and coordination. Signs that you may have a functional vision problem include:

- Difficulty concentrating
- Rereading or skipping lines of print
- Short attention span
- Poor reading comprehension
- Poor coordination or balance
- Slow completion of work
- Previous brain trauma (concussions, strokes)
- Loss of interest in reading
- Frequent headaches

RightEye Dynamic Vision is a 5-minute, non-invasive test performed at our offices that could diagnose a dynamic vision issue and set you on a path to improvement.

Safe and Sound Protocol - What Our Providers Have to Say:

“[The SSP] has allowed me to work with clients, children and adults, through a very short period of time and achieve results that normally would take me six months or more in a regular therapeutic process.

I see trust, I see connection, I see safety being kindled at a level that the therapeutic process can flow without barriers.”

Experience life better with music and movement programs for children and families.

Life experiences impact how we feel, think and connect with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We offer body-based, multisensory programs that support nervous system regulation and brain function, enabling you to respond better to life’s challenges.

Our research-based, non-invasive multisensory programs include music, movement, breathing, meditation, and language exercises designed to support individuals experiencing difficulties with:

- Anxiety
- Depression
- Behavior Regulation
- Difficulties with social connection
- Attention
- Learning Differences
- Memory
- Sleep

Vision disorders share symptoms with learning disabilities, such as low comprehension and short attention span.

How Does It Work?

The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is the only practical application of Polyvagal Theory, and is designed to improve sound sensitivities and auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through specially-filtered music.

The SSP allows for the repatterning of neural networks and improved regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) for lasting change.

Based on hierarchical recruitment of the ANS, the SSP trains the middle ear muscles to tune-in to cues of safety signaled by the frequencies of human voice, which stimulates the social engagement system through the neural network associated with listening.

Safe and Sound Protocol - Who Is It For?

The SSP is suitable for children and adults, and has been designed to work with a diverse variety of therapeutic approaches and modalities. Its effectiveness has been proven in a wide range of studies including clinical trials involving children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, along with numerous case studies demonstrating effectiveness with emotional regulation, trauma, anxiety and more.

Who Can Benefit From Safe and Sound Protocol

SSP is a music-based intervention that can address dysregulation caused by Sensory Processing Disorders, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, sleep disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders, misophonia, and other factors that cause an overactive or underactive emotional state.

By reducing auditory sensitivities and improving the ability to process human speech, the goal of SSP is to calm the autonomic nervous system so that the child or adult can become more social, engaged, and responsive to their own emotional needs. Other benefits may include improved digestion, improved sleep, and improved vocal tone.
