Summary of research by Elizabeth & Derek Rintel, 1995

SOUND THERAPY FOR THE LEARNING DISABLED CHILD: The Effect of High Fequency Filtered Music on Listening and Learning Ability

A group of Remedial Learning Children were exposed to Joudry Sound Therapy Tapes for 32 hrs over a period of sixteen weeks. The results were as follows:

Goldman-Fristoe-Woodcock Test of Auditory Discrimination

(in percentiles for age group)

Rosner Test of Auditory Analysis Skills

Neale Reading Age Group Means (in months)

Neale Comprehension Age Group Means (in months)

Spelling Age Group Means (in months)

 

Some comments from the discussion paper:

"we can conclude that the change was due to the high frequencies in the Joudry tapes."

"Experienced teachers consider an increase of five months in reading in four months is good progress for a remedial child."

"it is unusual for a group to make ten months gain in the period studied."

"the children who received the high frequency music showed more rapid advances"

"For Special children being integrated into the classroom it is entirely feasible for an individual child to wear a Walkman player with the tapes while attending to lessons in the normal way. It is clear that larger group studies would be worthwhile especially in view of the policy of integrating as many disadvantaged children as possible into the normal school. Sound Therapy may allow them to speed up the learning process."
