What Are Patients Saying About MST? ▪ initiates conversation, more inquisitive ▪ calmer and listens to directives ▪ following multistep directions now ▪ less frequent and intense tantrums ▪ increased expression of emotions ▪ less overwhelmed ▪ communications are “in the moment” now vs holding it in ▪ “awesome” behavioral improvements ▪ better able to attend to relationships genuinely ▪ aggression has history of being extreme; it has stopped! Mom of Jace- 9yr old ADHD, autism, LD “Thanks to the multi-sensory training my life is returning to normal. Instead of struggling with dizziness five to six days per week, I have challenges only one to two days per week.” Amy S.- Concussion patient “My mind is clearer. My dizziness is gone. I’m reading and comprehending better. I feel like I have much of my independence back and I’m not waiting for another adult to help me care for me or my family.” Kelly P.- Concussion patient “The multi-sensory therapy also helped my balance and brain fog issues. I had struggled with these issues since 2004 with little improvement. It has helped me reclaim parts of my life and improved my ability to endure daily activities.” Kurt S.- Concussion patient Abilities Affected by MST o Emotional and Behavioral Regulation - manage emotions and behaviors on “autopilot” o Gross & Fine Motor Control - coordinate use of muscles instinctively o Balance - maintain stable stance and gait on “autopilot” o Memory - store and retrieve words, facts, skills, concepts, and experiences o Organization - maintain orderliness in thoughts and activities o Planning - set goals and the sequences of actions to reach them o Judgement - consider potential outcomes of a situation and choose a safe and competent course of action o Mental Flexibility - shift from one way of looking at something to another o Receptive/Expressive Language - understand words and sentences/express thoughts easily and automatically o Sensory Modulation - respond to sensory environments without being overwhelmed or confused; attend to what is important at the moment and disregard what is not o Sleep – establish improved circadian rhythm for improved mental and physical stamina __________________________________________ Brochure in electronic form: Website: www.mst4brains.com Provided by Qualified Professionals A Unique Multisensory Training Technique Accelerating Children’s Sensory Processing and Learning Development Accelerating Post-Concussion Rehabilitation Accelerating Wellness Goals

What is MST ? (multisensory training) MST is a technique used by qualified professionals to help the brain learn or relearn multisensory processing. Multisensory processing is the ability to filter, modulate, and integrate all the senses our brain receives from the environment so that we can pay attention to what is important and ignore what isn’t. It is one of the earliest and most important functions our brain learns to do before higher brain learning can take place. MST is a unique method involving simultaneous presentation of sensory stimulations in a safe and controlled clinical situation. This includes specific frequencies of colored light, vestibular (motion) stimulation, auditory stimulation, and somatosensory (touch and feel) input. MST has three modalities: Developmental, Rehabilitative, Wellness MST-D (Developmental): facilitates a child’s learning and behavior development via enhancement of multisensory processing…a skill that first develops in the brainstem as an unconscious skill (can NOT be taught). Multisensory processing is expected to be learned well by age three so that the child can advance to the next steps of learning (movement, balance, behavior, emotional regulation, speech, cognition). The child will more fully engage in schoolwork, social encounters, tutoring, vision therapy, and more. MST-R (Rehabilitative): helps many brain-injured patients regain function after damage to this multisensory area of the brain, especially secondary to concussion and whiplash. MST can provide improvement in balance difficulties, lightheadedness, dizziness, light sensitivity, nausea, unstable/blurry vision, motion sensitivity, and more. MST-R (Wellness): helps individuals struggling with anxiety, mood regulation, sleep disturbances, PTSD, Long-Haul COVID, MdDS, and more. How Does MST Do This? MST consists of 12 days of visits to the office compressed within two weeks. The participant views a computerized light instrument while lying on a gently rotating platform and listening to modulating music tracks. This is followed by 3 weeks of home-based activities and in-office boosters if needed. MST provides a multisensory effect that is spread amongst several sensory systems. This creates opportunity for the stronger systems to support the weaker systems until all reach the balanced status that is expected of the child OR that existed before the brain injury. MST can be incorporated before, during, or after a patient’s other interventions. Who Can Benefit From MST? MST has been shown to help those with: o post-concussion syndrome o chronic dizziness/imbalance o autism spectrum disorders o ADHD o behavioral difficulties o PTSD o sensory processing disorder o Long-Haul COVID What are MST Success Rates? Ninety-two percent of parents report that MST was effective for their child. Research on post-concussion patients shows that 96% report improvement within 38 days of MST. Symptoms decrease by 40-50%.
