Name: Scott
Gender: Male
Chronological Age: 6 1/2 years
Clinical Diagnosis: No formal diagnosis

Notes: Chronic otitis media from 6 months to 3 years. All milestones met within normal limits. Presented with some mild language processing problems. First grade teacher started complaining so I did basic testing and had them start TLP immediately.

Parent Feedback: Scott's Mother
"Before my 6 1/2 year old son started the Base Schedule of The Listening Program through Mindy Newhouse at Communication Matters, he was frustrated with not being able to express himself. If he couldn't understand something his teachers or I told him to do, he would become very angry. He displayed this through nasty faces or a defiant attitude. His teacher sent home notes about his behavior nearly every day. The day after he started The Listening Program he started being nicer to everyone and he was less frustrated at school and home. After week number 3, we had a parent-teacher conference and the teacher asked what we had done. She thought we had started him on medication! By the end of the 8 week program I had talked to his teacher and she said she was amazed at the difference in him and how he listened so much better and had a much improved attitude overall."
