Abstract
Background/Aim: The Listening Program (TLP) is a sound-based intervention that claims to treat the behavioural challenges of children diagnosed on the autism spectrum with sensory processing difficulties. There is a paucity of peer-reviewed evidence supporting its use. The purpose of this study was to determine whether TLP reduces sensory over-responsitivity (SOR) to auditory stimuli. Methods: Data were collected over a 28-week period using an ABAB multiple events case–control design of testing and treatment intervals to capture the responses of three participants to TLP. Results: Graphs from repeated measures data were drawn to analyse the direction and level of trend lines. There was a high variability of responses, with participants responding positively and others negatively at different stages of the study. Conclusions: The results lend some support to the use of TLP with children on the autism spectrum who are experiencing auditory SOR.
