about Fast Forward software

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am mother of a high functioning autistic boy(6 years old). He is

verbal but not fluent in communicating his thoughts( Usually replies

in 2-5 word sentences). Some times he takes more than a minute to

respond.

Is there anyone out there who has an autistic child and tried

Fastforward? If so what are the results? Did Fastforward help in

gaining either receptive or expressive language skills to any degree?

I contacted a provider in my area about the cost of the program. She

told me that the cost of the product is $850 and the charge for 50

clinical hours is $2200, plus tax to Scientific learning company.

Does it typically cost the same everywhere or the expenses change

from provider to provider?

Also recently one SLP told me that Fastforward is for improving

auditory processing while what most of the autistic children have is

problem with language processing ? Can anybody explain me the

difference between them?
