Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 We have struggled with this from the beginning. First, are you looking for some " concrete " I am's? I think it would only be the highest functioning kids who could grasp the concept of I think therefore I am or whatever. We've tried things like " I am happy " or " I am cold " and we've just not gotten it. If anyone else has anything that seemed to work, I'd love to hear it. From: amakaemodi@...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 My son is what is considered high functioning, but still with many issues. He is verbal. Even so when there are social pragmatic language issues, this is one of hardest areas to teach. Through ABA therapy where all of this is worked on the way they were able to teach him and me in turn work on this concept at home was through visual picture stories. Take a picture of your child. Take a picture of the things he likes. Take pictures of expressions. Cut out the expressions, laminate, and place velcro on the back. Make him/her put them on the picture of himself.
