We were told about a music therapy that helps people with neurological damage. It's called The Listening Program through Advanced Brain Technology. At first I thought it may be a scam, but I talked to Chloe's pediatrician, neurologist, OT, and audiologist, and they all said they have seen miracles happen with children who do this therapy. Miracles? Music to my ears. I have always known Chloe really responds to music. When she was younger and would cry ALL THE TIME, one of the only things that would help soothe her was music. I play primary songs on the piano, and she will sit there and listen as long as I will play. My mom has a music box that plays 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' and without fail, that will put Chloe into a pleasant trance. Anyway, so when I found out about this music therapy, I was thrilled and wanted to get Chloe into the program right away! But I was shot down because they said they never started children on the program until they were 2 years old, because younger children can't wear the headphones for a long enough time (it has to be at least 15 minutes a day). Well, Chloe, as you know, is only one. But I am an adament mommy and will fight to get my daughter help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! (This is known as 'Mama Bear Syndrome'). So my mom got some special noise cancelling headphones for Chloe's birthday, and I bought two of the ABT special cd's and a portable cd player. Anyway, today we tried out the headphones and she listened to the music - AND really liked it - for twenty whole minutes! I called the center that does the program and told them the good news. They said they would enroll her in the program!!!!!.... Help for my baby? MUSIC TO MY EARS!!!5.10.2008
Music to my Ears!
