Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 Dear , It is hard for me to understand what your son is capable of doing based on your description. But can he do things like 1. Put the hat on the table and the girl in the bus 1a. add a barrier so he can't see the objects 1b. add a time delay so he has to remember 2. Give me the cat, ice cream, book and shoe 2a. add a barrier so he can't see the objects 2b. add a time delay so he has to remember 2c. after giving them, can you hide them and say what did you give me 3. Answer Who, What, Where questions about the same picture 3a. Where is the girl? 3b. What is she doing? 3c. Who is with the girl? 4. Answer Who, What, Where questions about a sentence or multiple sentences just read like " The teacher walked to music class. " What listening programs have you done? Anything like these? I tend to think that sometimes with our motivation to get our kids to talk, we skip over the more complex listening skills.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Shona, My daughter also works on Earobics. The next step as per Dr. Fosnot's recommendations (Renowned Speech Therapist, CA) is Fast Forward. I am NOT familiar, but heard good things.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Another good resource is the book " When the Brain Can't Hear. " It's one of the best books I've read on this subject. Fast Forword is more expensive, but more intensive than Earobics. I have heard if you use Earobics with more intensity it's more effective. (i.e. 2 hours daily). By the way, you may be able to find that book at your local library. On Sep 5, 2005, at 5:35 PM, isoaa@... wrote: > > Shona, My daughter also works on Earobics.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 You might want to keep in mind that you don't have to have a speech therapist do Fast Forward with you. That will save you 80-100 dollars a week. You might just use one as needed. --- base2 <base2@...> wrote: > Another good resource is the book " When the Brain > Can't Hear.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Fast Forword is a program that's used through a provider. For each student enrolled the provider must pay a licensing fee (which hooks the student up to the FFW program). I believe this cost is around $900. Most of the providers I spoke with charge enrollees anywhere from $2000 to $4000. The total cost may be different elsewhere. Some school districts do use this program, and I have heard of some people successfully getting it paid through by their schools. Earobics is much less expensive.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I have heard other listmates state that they have done FastForward without a speech therapist monitoring the student's progress. I did not know this at the time, and it cost us 80 per week to have the slp just check daily to see how he did. We did it at home--not in the office of a slp. Has anyone done it themselves without a slp? Barb --- base2 <base2@...> wrote: > Fast Forword is a program that's used through > a provider.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I did it at home this summer without an SLP or anyone (but me) monitoring him.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Thanks, . That's good to know. You saved yourself a lot of money. which program did you do? Dr. Fosnot is suggesting Auditory Memory for Short Stories. Ever hear of it?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 No, I haven't heard of that one. I used FFW Language and Language to Reading. I've also used a program from Sound Reading Solutions. It's suppose to be similar to Earobics, but claims to also work on Rapid Naming. It's a pretty decent program. I had heard it's not as boring as Earobics and works pretty similarly. On Sep 9, 2005, at 5:49 PM, Barb Katsaros wrote: > Thanks, . That's good to know.
