Product Description
Not a stock item. Contact Giving Greetings for ordering information.
This new book helps clinicians and educators provide a systematic progression of visual symbolism, leading the student from basic perception to metalinguistic understanding and use. A strong visual language also provides an organizational matrix that can be mapped to conceptual understanding, which is likely to enhance a student’s overall communication ability and enable the person with ASD to relate to the world of objects and events, and to find his or her way to relationships with family, friends, and community. In providing such an inclusive use of symbols, the book helps to aid individuals with ASD integrate basic activities of being, doing, knowing, and expressing.
Authors: Howard Shane, Ph.D. and Sharon Weiss-Kapp, M.Ed, CCC-SLP, November 2007, Softcover, 176 pages.
