The Listening Program

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

Just got off the phone with who is an account executive from

the Listening Program and she was very helpful! For anyone who has

questions about the program I suggest you call them direct at

1.888.228.1798 or International +1.801.622.5676.

said that nobody should purchase their program from Ebay as

just like Sherry and I were trying to say the discs are not a " one

size fits all " Even though nobody should be selling this through

Ebay -if you do purchase the program through Ebay she said people

shouldn't expect good results.

Up till now we haven't heard much about this program but I found out

that just like Vital Links The Listening Program is a home based

program that can be used during therapy as well -but also like Vital

Links the program needs to be overseen and selected by a trained

professional.

Also just like Vital Links and others -The Listening Program

has " thousands " of providers all over the world. For The Listening

Program you can search providors at this page and if you can't find

ont they suggest you call them.

(I have other links in the archive below to other programs as well as

it's never a bad idea to research more than one)

Also since when is Ebay's price so great anyway? Right now the price

on Ebay is already over 300 dollars (!!!) -which to be honest is

about what I paid through Tanner's speech therapist for the

headphones at that time -and we only started with one CD -which is

the only one we had to use for Tanner and the CDs were not that much -

30? We used this at home -but also brought it with us for therapy

and it was on Tanner's head during therapy. We did get another CD at

some point but again it was meant just for Tanner's needs and it was

another 30 bucks or so. I was told the headphones are most

important. Some here are talking about 100 to 180 dollar headphones

so I don't know if the price has gone down over the years? Either

way the price on Ebay appears high -and it's not recommended by The

Listening Program -the people that created the program.

I'd bail if I was one of you bidding on The Listening Program on Ebay

and just contact a provider- do it the correct way -and get CDs that

are meant for your child's needs -not that person on Ebay's child's

needs.

Cheapest TLP is $400 unless you get the discount./ OT discount price

is $375 and that is for the Classic version. Headphones are purchased

separately and there is an approved list.

Program is over $400 and does not include headphones. More than one

cd always required and the set can only be bought as a set, not one

cd individually. The headphones are seaparate and for classic or

level one can run up to $200 so you can see why the lore to ebay but

the danger in ebay is if dubbed, scratched, etc. though as I

understand it if dubbed the original is messed up as there is

software protection these now. Bone conduction headphones are $900.

I am with you about the provder, at least in the beginning but

as I have said many times, make sure the provider sticks to protocol.

Let me tell you about my 'provider' experience.

Okay, this was pre-NACD days and I was desparately searching for something to

help Mark. I discovered TLP but had no way to get it as there were no providers

remotely close to me. I found an outfit in New York to sell it to me and for an

extra $125 you had a telephone interview with a psychologist.

ly, it was a waste of both my time and my money. I didn't learn anything

from the provider that I did not read in the literature. For me at the time, it

was a lot of money since I was 'short' of it. I could have spent $125 on a lot

of things. I didn't learn anything from this guy that I did not already

know.....

If I could do it again, I'd buy it on Ebay...... At any rate, Mark is older

then the other kids but if something were to go awry, I personally the women on

this and other boards are more experienced in apraxia, autism and sensory

processing disorders then most therapists! I would certainly come to you guys

with any of 'weird reactions' to anything before almost any therapist! I trust

your knowledge and experience base a whole lot more!

Just my humble opinion.
