Help students with reduced social or organisational skills. Help them learn the language of future oriented thinking as you teach them a very useful skill!
This book was developed for teachers and speech/language pathologists helping students improve functional language and communication development. Target skill areas include:
All of these skills are used in planning and talking about planning. Planning, or understanding plans and talking about future events is often difficult for students with language impairment and/or executive functioning disorders. Also, students weak in social skills and social language areas often find planning future events overwhelming. Students with Asperger's Syndrome or higher functioning autistic students have particular difficulty planning future events.
Goal setting, laying event sequences out into the future, projecting outcomes and preparing to problem solveāall of these abstract notions are most challenging for students weak in organisational or social skills---all of these areas are targeted in this book!
This book includes:
Structured activities offer students plenty of practice in vocabulary development, sentence formulation and generating cohesive multi-sentence passages. These activities are designed to offer students enjoyable activities as they gain a new and useful tool to add to their communication repertoire.
