I have heard good things about this, my son is five, I don't think he would

keep headphones on, but you never know I guess. Jen

Looks like you have a very smart OT. We purchased The LIstening Program

through NACD and are administering it ourselves under the guidance of NACD.

It is terrific. In the first month, we saw tremendous improvement in tone /

posture. He just looked so much taller! Everyone I have heard from who has

used it has said they too had great results. We will be doing the entire

program 2x.

If you give a shout out to Janice on this board or look up some of her posts

on this you will find more in-depth information.

Good Luck!

[ ] Therapeutic Listening program?

My 4 year old daughter is starting up OT again this Tuesday and they

want to try therapeutic listening with her. I was wondering if anyone

has had any experience with this program? The OT swears by it. I

guess it is a auditory program that she would wear special headphones

twice a day for 30 minutes and listen to certain CD's that tap into her

vestibular system. I am not sure if I am sold on it. Any help would

be great.

Which program would she use? We do a program with this and it has

helped tremendously.

Hello. I have 3 1/2 year old twins who were both on the therapeutic

listening for about 9 months. My daughter didn't really show any

changes at all while on the therapy but when I took her off she had

horrible tantrums for a couple of weeks. My son showed some gains when

we started a new cd, but they would never stick. When I took him off

the therapy he had even worse tantrums than his sister and would even

wake up in the middle of the night screaming horribly and we weren't

able to calm him for about an hour or so. This lasted for a couple

of weeks as well. And now a month later he is doing much better with

a lot of his sensory issues (tactile and auditory). I don't recommend

the therapy and wouldn't do it again. I think they both had to go

through an adjustment period and seem to be making better, lasting

gains without it.

The school did something like that with Cody as a speech approach (basically

cramming words into him). It did not work for him.

But what doesn't work for some, may work for others.

Cramming words? I think that may be something else.

We started the Therapeutic Listening Program with Liam (4 y/o) several

months ago, at the advice of his OT, and have had amazing results! We

began it because his OT, ST, and pediatric neurologist suspect CAPD,

and his attentiveness and willingness to participate in therapy

improved by leaps and bounds!

Good luck!

Our OT and ST tried the Therapeutic Listening program with my son when he

was 3 or so and they wanted me to do the program at home as well. After

purchasing the $100 headphones, he absolutely refused to wear them at home

for me. So, they just did it 2x a week in therapy, and I wasn't convinced

that I saw much difference. I'm not sure if it would have worked better if

we did it daily or not. If anyone is interested in the headphones, please

contact me!

Below is a link with information regarding The Listening Program. It certainly

did not cure my daughter, but her receptive language improved greatly. In

addition she started to notice her surroundings, and things like hot and cold

sensation.

Read what you can find on the internet. It is classical music and nature

sounds. I did this along with my daughter, and my own attention to detail

improved quite a bit.

Jo,

I found some help myself feeling more organized with thought, etc.

when using TLP along with my kids. Can I ask how old your daughter

was when you did it with her?

Thanks!

Sorry to interject so there is no

confusion, the Listening Program is

different from Therapeutic Listening.

If more info is needed just Google

Therapeutic Listening Program.

TLP/ The Listening Program really helped Mark as well. It worked his tonal

processing and helped him to guage how loud he was speaking; it helped him with

regards to leaving off consonents off of words; it helped with his vestibular

and his balance.

We got our money's worth in this program and used it continuously for a year and

a half until all of the other ear issues were resolved in Mark. Sometimes you

cannot overtly 'see' results in your child so we continued with the program long

after we could see definable gains but I knew..... I knew that it was working

that ear and that my son's ear and auditory function was severely compromised.

I don't know anything about Therapeutic Listening but The Listening Program by

Advanced Brain Technologies was wonderful for us. This can be a slow process so
