You are doing it the way that NACD instructs, 5 days on, 2 off. 2 sessions at

15 minutes per session.

[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. Thanks!

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.
