OMST helps the brain learn or relearn multi-sensory filtering (processing). It involves simultaneous application of prescribed frequencies of colored light, vestibular (motion) stimulation, auditory training, somatosensory input, and optometric vision therapy. It is NOT a stand-alone intervention, but rather a powerful adjunct to the overall optometric care of concussed patients and children suffering delays in sensory processing disorders often associated with ADHD, anxiety, or autistic based.

OMST differentiates itself from all other interventions because it is:

• input vs output

• passive vs active

• subconscious vs conscious

• subcortical vs cortical

• bottom-up vs top-down

Therefore OMST is designed to provide the foundation for higher level interventions. These include optometric vision therapy, classroom instruction, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, occupational therapy, tutoring, and any other top-down/cortical-based approaches that presume a solid base of sensory processing exists in the patient.

OMST is based on the neuroscience that we are born with single sensory neural network capability only. However appropriate successful child development depends on acquisition of multi neuronal processing which occurs beginning at birth. OMST helps a child enhance and accelerate their self-development of multi-sensory processing. It also helps TBI patients regain efficiency in their multi-sensory pathways after having been compromised as a result of the head injury .

Our Mission

Our hope is to see that OMST reaches as many patients as possible who suffer multi-sensory processing difficulties. Endless numbers of patients tell us things such as, “you’ve done more for me in five weeks than all other interventions combined over the last six months” and, “I wish I had received this years ago”.
