Hi That's great that the LEA is paying for TLP. Which department referred him - speech? I have been thinking of doing this for awhile as we had big gains from Auditory Integration Therapy about 18 months ago. Would be great if I could get the LEA to provide it!ThanksAutism Treatment From: andrea.edmondson@...Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2009 13:34:21 +0000Subject: Re: The Listening Programme study
