Q:
I've heard the Lindamood-Bell is good, but it is so expensive.
Is it worth the money?
Answer:
We
had our child evaluated by the Lindamood Bell Center here,
and looked at the possibility of doing the program, however
the costs are exhorbitant and there are no guarantees that
it will actually work for your child in the average time frame..
Could be shorter, could be longer and many dollars more.
I ended up getting their program materials and doing some
of it at home.. I'm sure the quality of the drill and practice
wasn't as intense as at the center, but it was a WHOLE LOT
cheaper.
Also.. the "instructors" there are trained, but not all certified
teaching personnel or anything. I'm attending college and
on our local college's summer employment board, there was
an announcements for jobs at the Lindamood-Bell center.. NO
prior experience necessary.. One week of training and you
can teach these kids! I lost ALL interest in paying the LMB
Center the hefty fees when I learned any college student who
just went through training could be providing services for
my child. Granted, they do have people who work there year-round
and who've probably become pretty good at it. I believe interested
parents who can read and follow directions can do as well
as most college students looking for extra summer cash. ;-)
Go to the Lindamood website and get on their mailing list..
They will send you brochures about upcoming training as well
as a catalog of their products. Trust me, it is NOT rocket
science and most anyone who can read and follow directions
can do the program. ;-) The link for info is in the top page
banner at the http://www.lindamoodbell.com/ website -- a button
titled "i Info Request".
That's my opinion, for what it's worth!
Best Wishes,
Sandy
