Therapeutic Listening

A listening program thought to help autistic kids increase verbal skills.

Has anyone tried a therapeutic listening program for their child with autism?

My son used to go to the Children's Institute probably four years ago for their program.  I remember spending $100 for a set of headphones. He only did about 6-8 sessions with minimal results.

I should have stuck in there for longer. I'm thinking of trying it again.

Is there an age limit-- meaning do you get too old to do the program?  He's 8 years old now.  I see that  Institute offers Therapeutic Listening now too.
