Intended for professionals working with children with under-developed visual perceptual skills associated with language delay or other communication difficulties, this practical manual provides photocopiable activities designed to stimulate and develop visual attention and discrimination skills. The majority of the activities are non-verbal and are therefore suitable for children with limited spoken language, including the deaf, sensory impaired or those with autism or learning difficulties. It is primarily aimed at the pre-school age group, but adaptable to suit the needs of a range of children. It offers visual perceptual tasks designed to help develop specific concepts such as colour, size and shape, which can also form part of an attention training programme.
This practical and comprehensive manual, for professionals working with pre-school children or the older special-needs child, offers more than 200 activities in a format designed to be photocopied for use in the classroom or for carers. It covers the basic auditory skills needed before meaning can be attached to sound. It deals with more advanced abilities including sound recognition and auditory sequencing. It includes materials on auditory detection, discrimination, recognition, sequencing and memory. It describes listening projects and topics for the curriculum. It includes activity sheets for parents.
