Searching for The Listening Programme kit

[clareber]

Does anyone have The Listening Programme kit with bone conduction headphones and CDs or Ipod that they would be willing to sell me secondhand ? DD has auditory processing issues as part of her SPD and I am keen to try this for her asap...

Hi there - If you dont get any immediate help, we are just starting it with my DD. I would be more than happy to sell it on afterwards, though I dont actually know how long it takes to work through.

Thank you v much - I am hoping to start it soon, but I will come back to you if I don't find one in the next little while. I would be interested to know where you got yours and how much it cost. Thanks

Can you not borrow it via OT?

Hi there - it was recommended through someone called Tamara Nathan who works with as a "Provider" for the Program I think. She's not an OT herself.

It was expensive - £700 with the headphones and loaded ipod (which is why Im hoping someone can benefit from it after us)!

Will let you know how she gets on with it. She wasnt keen on the headphones at first but then she saw the ipod and liked holding that!

I got mine on Ebay - not with bone conduction headphones - but with good Sennheisers and a CD player for £300. Am hoping to sell it on on that site, once it has been thoroughly tried.

Thanks so much for your feedback.

My OT wasn't familiar with the programme.

Mumsuz, even £700 is less than the cost of buying it from the private OT clinic I have been talking to. I will try to find out more about Tamara Nathan - did you have bone conduction headphones and about 10 hours of listening material ?

Warning about selling it on, if I remember correctly you can do the programme more than once and other family members can try it too. Mind you, at that price I'm not surprised you would want to! I got mine many years ago on the inter web and must have googled, not through some fancy supplier

I think we bought the headphones that she recommended - but we just got these off amazon for about £30. My dd is 4, nearly 5. There are about 200 loaded tracks on the ipod thing - so more than 10 hours listening time i think.

I have just checked the invoice - it is "TLP Spectrum" and it was £772 including p and p.

Tamara Nathan owns a clinic called Fountain House - you should be able to find her if you google that.

She is not an OT (infact the OT at school was a bit dismissive of her when I told them about her) but she diagnosed all of my DD's issues eg problems with vestibular and proprioceptive (?) systems.
