[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15K for a listening program?

why do ots love it others dont?

Nutritional supplements -- kind of a waste of money. Lawyer and advocate -- a waste of money too[/quote]

I'm the PP who's kid benefited from the listening program.  It was about $2,000 total for us. I don't know where the PP's are getting $15,000.  The special CD's where roughly $120 for a set of 3 (we did 12 sets coming to $1440). The headphones were $150.  The CD player we got at best buy for $40 and we replaced it once.  The belt to wear the player while moving around was $50.  So, roughly $1640 for the program.  If an OT is quoting $15,000 that seems to be WAY out of line.  I would most definitely question that fee.[/quote]

Sorry--I'm the OP who spent 15k on it. I was a listening "Loop" program that was in an office building in Berhesda off of Wisc. Ave. Children go there for 2-3 hour listening "loops" with headphones on playing loops of the parents voice reading different children's books. It was for speech and language therapy. Each loop cost 4k back in 2002. We did 5 loops lasting 4 weeks. I saw np measurable benefit to our DS speech or language. As I said though it did makes us "feel" like we were being proactive, though, sadly.[/quote]
