Our experience with Therapeutic Listening as autism therapy
July 12, 2010 in Special Needs News by Admin Dawn
When I first heard about therapeutic listening, I was very dubious. I didn’t understand how wearing headphones and listening to weird sounds was going to do anything except seriously tick Billy off. Having completed the program now, we still can’t conclusively say that his gains were specifically because of therapeutic listening, but I would call myself a tentative believer. My husband, Dave, for the record, is still skeptical.

Have you tried therapeutic listening? Did it help?
I happen to believe that listening to music and audio (books) via headphones can be helpful to children with diagnoses. My problem with the program you mention is that what is advertised is unprovable – in the same way you cannot be sure if it was effective for your child.
