10 Questions to ask when choosing a Provider

1. What Provider Credentials does the Provider hold?

2. To how many clients has the Provider offered The Listening Program?

3. Are there certain types of clients the Provider has more experience with? Do they have experience in an area of specific interest to you such as a particular diagnosis, goal or objective? 

4. How does the Provider help you to decide what TLP program and schedule is best for you or your child?  

5. What does the Provider charge for professional services when administering The Listening Program? Do they charge ABT’s recommended price for TLP materials?  

6. If the Provider requires an assessment prior to participation, what type of assessment is done? What does it cost? Does the Provider accept recent assessments provided by other parties? 

7. What kind of support and monitoring does the Provider offer and how frequently?  

8. What means of contact is offered to program monitoring: in person, phone, email, etc? 

9. Does the Provider offer distance monitoring if there are no Providers in your immediate area? 

10. Does the Provider offer ABT Media products to augment The Listening Program?
     

Other Considerations

With certain exceptions, The Listening Program is a method intended for off-site (at home) use with support and monitoring by a trained TLP Provider. Clients purchase their own TLP materials through their Provider. Exceptions include school-based delivery with TLP Site Licenses and other special circumstances such as on-site bone conduction programs. Providers are not permitted to rent, loan or otherwise provide TLP materials unless they are purchased by or for a client. Nor are they permitted to buy back materials.

TLP programs must be monitored by a Provider and may not be offered to a client without support. The Listening Program must also be done using approved audio equipment to ensure quality.
