Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 You are doing it the way that NACD instructs, 5 days on, 2 off. 2 sessions at 15 minutes per session. Janice [sPAM][ ] The Listening Program/NACD Question My son is on cd 8 of the Classic Version. He has done well on it. We started out 15 minutes a day, 5 days on and 2 off. By cd 5 we were doing 30 min per day 5 days on 2 off. Per my OT those are the only options. We used her TLP kit and now must buy our own. We have decided to buy it and hubby and I are going to use it as well. We are planning on going to NACD but I am concerned about something: I thought I have read people here doing it more per day. If so was that an NACD instruction? A TLP instruction? The reason I ask is it seems strange that NACD, whose founder is the cocreator of TLP, would instruct clients differently that TLP itself instructs therapists? I am asking if this is happening and not saying it is. It may be things have changed since our OT was certified or something.I just don't want to go there and have them instruct us to do it longer. As it is we have seen enough fast changes for me to think this pace, if any, is all I am comfortab;le with. I will still go to NACD regardless of the respomse because they evaluate for other things and give homescooling help so whoever answers please don't fell like you are deciding something for me.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi, We have just managed, with only a very few weeks of bio-medical intervention, to get our Sons temper tantrums done to a managable level. Luckily, they were mostly at home - but the screaming could last for hours - by the end of the day I was clutching my medicinal glass of wine and telling my husband that kid is damned lucky he is cute! I thnk now - he was sick. When he got frustrated, or pretty much for any reason, he was on the floor having a full on screaming fit. One and a half happy, joyous mostly tantrum free months! So when I started TLP - this was my biggest concern. Lori at NACD said that some kids are very sensitive to the sounds. 5 days after starting we had a tantrum full day - email off to Lori in a panic - I am not going back to the tantrum days. She had some very sound advice - but it was unneccessary - he just had a bad day. I have noticed a tendency to be hyperactive, but the ability to play with his brother for much longer periods. He used to run to the bathroom and lock the door when he had enough - usually after 10 mins of play. Yesterday, they were outside together for over an hour.
