Re: Listening Program Experiment

[Guest guest]

Hey Liz - We also started LP two weeks ago. 30 minutes (approx.) at

achool and 30 (approx) at home. The first week - very weepy child. It

could have also been a virus that he was finally kicking. This week

we only did it at home about two times - but we are hearing some

increased or better articulation (or attempts at articulation). Weepy

is gone. I don't know about sinuses or drawing or writing. We have

been seeing some better sleeping as well. On the down side - a little

stimmy this week... Will keep you posted.

Is anyone helping you. I do think it matters to do it a consistent

timeframe per day. If you can't do it at home then just let them do

it at school but make sure whatever he gets is the same amount daily.

I think it will provide more consistent improvement plus you really

do not want sporadic brain reorganization. I think all that you saw

was good. The sleeping better is likely due to better sinus stuff.

We, unfortunately do not get better sleeping out of it but that is

becaue when he pees the yeast wakes him. I am really excited .

Go Carson!

I could never listen to any type of therapy cd. It gives me a

headache (in than 5 min). Anyway, some of the therapists say you can

use a stereo with speakers that detach and put them over the child's

bed when they are asleep 30 morning/30 at night. This is done with

babies..I did it with my son at 3 when he wouldn't keep headphones

on..then at 4 he did Digital auditory aerobics (DAA)at his speech/ot

clinic. I think it was beneficial.

:

Re: weepy. When I do it my ears hurt and nasal passages loosen up. In

a small child weepiness accompanying that feeling sens reasonable.

says it hurts her ears. Thhe precise reason we do it slow

for her. She will do 15 minutes per day. will go up to 30

next week which is where I am starting.
