[QUOTE="buddy, post: 512846, member: 12886"] What kind of auditory program is he in the middle of. there are some that need a certain amount of time to be effective. So, if he stops then you may have wasted your time doing it.... I am suspecting that is nto the case, as these tend to be highly intensive types of listening programs that take hours daily in the program then after they cant use ear phones any more etc. Can you along iwth the assessment ask the one in the school if she has used the exact protocol that the auditory processing specialists are using? RE: if all speech therapists can do it... well, it depends on how they are trained there. Here we are trained in all areas to a degree, have to put clinical hours in following the classroom training hours, in each category (language, neuro, artic, etc...) and within those categories you might pick sites that are more like what you eventually want to work in. so for my neuro stuff, I picked children who had been long term diagnosis. and were learning non-verbal systems. You have to test competently on a national test here too. But bottom line there is far to much to know to be an expert in everything so just like with PT, Occupational Therapist (OT), and even doctors, you get the broad training but focus your learning and training on the areas you are truly planning to work with. SO, if the school person is really not into it so much... well then you might stay with the other. But it sounds like she is saying she IS comfortable with working on processing... (talk to her about what specifically she would do... see if she is just saying it or if she really can off the top of her brain tell you what kinds of actual activities she would do with him). Any chance to do a few months more of the other to see if their methods start to have an impact THEN decide whether to switch??? I know a change again could be really hard, so sorry if that seems dumb. [/QUOTE]
