Teach Me Language
is designed for parents and therapists who teach language to children
with autism, Asperger's syndrome and other related developmental
disorders. Teach Me Language is a step by step "How
to" manual with 400 pages of instructions, explanations,
examples, games and cards that attack language weaknesses common
to children with pervasive developmental disorders. This book
is based on professional speech pathology methods developed specifically
to teach children with autism and related disorders the language
skills they need in school and in life.Areas Targeted include Social Language,
General Knowledge, Grammar and Syntax, Functional Knowledge, Written
Expression, and Language-Based Academic Concepts such as sequencing,
problem-solving, time, and money.Children Who Benefit are visual learners.
By this we mean that they are able to learn better with their
eyes than their ears. The entire book is based on this principle.
The child must be table ready (able to sit willingly at a table
for short periods of time). The child must also be able to communicate
to some extent, either through limited verbal communication, through
signing or through the use of a picture communication system.This Book should be introduced once
the child has learned one and two word sentences, has some basic
vocabulary, and can answer simple "What" or "Where"
questions from a picture book. The exercises in Teach Me Language
take the child from one and two word sentences to more complex
sentences and lay the foundation for conversation. The various
activities in Teach Me Language are appropriate for children
from kindergarten through the teenage years, with simple adaptation
for cognitive level i.e. the materials become more difficult,
yet the activities remain structured in the same way.
