I do a form of home based therapy (or rather, help you with a home based therapy program) called Therapeutic Listening (or Samonas) that is highly effective with difficulties with CAPD, auditory processing, sensory integration, dyslexia, autism specturm and many other things your child would be in speech, occupational or physical therapy for. As a professoinal, I think it works better for many disabilities than Fast Forward, or Lindamood Bell if you have considered those options. I can also counsel you on other forms of sound and/or music therapy that would help your child. Sound therapy is the only therapy I am familiar with (and I researched a lot) that actually changes the way the auditory system works in CAPD substantially rather than teaching your child compensations and seeing small physical changes. I am a certified speech therapist by the way. If you are interested please email me for details.

In a previous posting I read why an author would post their certification or degree? I agrre with that posting and was reminded of it when I saw, Cheryl’s. It is not necessary for her to write SLP speech therapist. Just because you are a speech therapist some parents on this BB might actually implement what you write, etc., more than another posting. No one knows who you are, your references, your education … . But because you write SLP, some folks might be mislead.
Authors should consider just writing names.

Re: titles
Yes, it can, it isn’t one therapy, its tailored to individua need. The reason wh it helps many things is due to the impact the auditory and vestibular system have on other skills. I can explain if you are interested. I don’t think it is the only thing one would use though, good therapy comhines many approaches. And I put SLP so people know I am an SLP and not a parent. I do not know what it is like to havea child with a disability. I do know what it is like to have ADHD and SI issues. And I am a speech therapist. I know what I do, but you know your kids. I was hoping we could help each other. This board helps me as a therapist and I like to return the favor. As any therapits, I have my opinions on what works best. I never want people to just take them as their own but for them to be a piece of the puzzle that helps you or your child. And I put SLP because that way I do not have to note I am a SLP every time. I think it is important info. as it is clear from most posts that parents are parents and teachers are teachers. People want to know what perspective you come from.
Re: titles
It is not appropriate for this BB, but it does make a difference what perspective you come from, just not your education, certification etc.,etc.. Consider just saying working in field if you feel it is necessary to share. Just because your a speech therapist I do not find it helpful for you to write this and I worry that parents might honor your writing more than someone else because you have written SLP, you might be a great one at that but we do not know you here on this BB .
Hi Cheryl,
I tried to e-mail you because I am interested in the program you are describing, but the mail keeps coming back as unknown address.
Could you please e-mail me with an address I can type in and I’ll try again? Thanks.
