Johansen IAS in the School Setting
Johansen IAS can also be used with groups of children in school listening to standard Johansen IAS CDs.
As CDs are not usually individually customized for children under the age of 5 or 6, Johansen IAS lends itself
to use with children in Nursery or Reception/ Primary One, but can also be used very effectively with older
children. Implementation and monitoring of the programme will always be undertaken by
a Registered Johansen IAS Provider.
Appropriate CDs for the age of child are carefully chosen and children listen in groups in a quiet place for 10
minutes per day, 5 days a week during term time. With the aid of a splitter to enable two sets of headphones to be
plugged into each CD player, two children can listen to the same CD at the same time. A typical programme of this
sort will last an academic year.
Schools that have implemented this way of working report an increase in ‘school readiness’ with listening skills
being more advanced and children being better able to work independently.
