Part 3: [|The Listening Program] I agree with the forum because many of the people on there have never heard of "The Listening Program" and I myself haven't either. I do not know how much it truly works or would be recommended because there is not a lot of information known about it. Also one of the people said they asked their child's doctor about it and even the doctor said that "there's a reason we don't offer that, save your money!". I do not think there is anyway a program in it self can actually totally change the problems that people have. There is no proof whether this program actually works or not. In the results on their website it says that numerous studies indicate life changing results, but there is no proof anywhere except on their website that this program actually works. There is not enough information out on the web to compare and study whether this "works for you". Some things consumers should know before getting this product is there is really no other scientific studies on it besides what their own website lists and also they say that listening to the "classical music" can impove learing, that is only based on what they observed.
