it helped a lot, didnt take away her auditory sensitivity however, but helped

loads and she so enjoyed it. We did 15 mins a day as at that time I dont think

she could have coped with 30 minutes. We tried to repeat it with a friends

materials that we borrowed but she needed them back so had to stop. I have been

thinking baout doing the training for this as I think its around so frequently

in our kids..

> > > We later did the outreach programme with The Sound Learning Centre in

London. It was based in edinburgh and we did the auditory and the visual stuff.

s bowel was much worse in those days and we were having a pretty bad

period just then. She found it really tough with the visual lights stuff but did

manage to do the auditory listening, especially if I lay beside her. We didnt

really think it was having much effect and it was such a terrible time

(bowel-wise). I remember being very upset one day and telling Steve my NHS saga

about lack of treatment. Then the second last day we were driving back to my

parents in Glasgow and started to say the weirdest things, she did have

language then but not so much and didnt do lots of commneting. She said some

stuff about cars, something she had heard outside. Said goodbye to Steve. I sang

a bit in the car and she didnt freak out which she normally did. I wished the

course had gone oon longer but it was like something had clicked into place.

title line maybe?? Good luck I really think its worth trying. I must look out

the details of that course I enquired about which was May in Edinburgh. Shall

keep you posted.

concentration, focus and speech and he's also got 2 slots in the day when he can

relax his whole system and listen to music (he's quite an active fella

normally), i think it has helped tremendously, any questions about using it

please feel free to email off list for my number.
