Guest guest Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hello, That sounds so intresting. My son just started reception as he is going to be 5 in two weeks. It is so difficult to engage him to do letters. We don't know where to start. I` d be very intrested to know more about this methodAgnieszkaSent using BlackBerry® from OrangeSender: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:17:32 -0000To: <Autism-Biomedical-Europe >ReplyTo: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Subject: Re: HALO METHOD Just saw my name mentioned in the discussions! I use Facilitated Communication with (aged 13) - and her son Adam showed us how to do it. It has been fantastic for us and I post regular updates on my facebook. I also use the Rapid Prompting Method (as taught by Soma from HALO). This is fantastic as well - I honestly believe that you could put any child with Soma - irrespective of their 'learning' diagnosis and she would show their intelligence. Soma believes that all children should be educated in order to find out what they are good at and so they can live fulfilling lives. Her own son Tito is non verbal and has written books/poetry. I had sessions with her last year and again a couple of weeks ago and was able to observe her with other children who had never done this before. One father sticks in my mind - Soma had just done some maths with his non-verbal son - he was breathless- almost papiltating ..x can do maths he was saying ...and we never knew!! Over the last year I have been using RPM to teach Biology, Physics and Poetry at GCSE level(we have tried Maths but feel he is too advanced for us!). If you were to see he presents as a severely autistic child - he is non-verbal, has obsessions , tantrums often appears to not understand (but we now know that cognitively he does understand - problem is getting his body to respond). So RPM involves working on pointing skills- using prompts to help child initiate responses, giving choices of answers, - and all you need to begin with is pencil and paper. I feel very passionate about this and have been thinking for some time about putting on a practical workshop for other parents to show what we have done with . I cannot pretend to be an expert but would love to share what I have learnt so far. If anyone is interested please email me so I can guage very rough numbers. Sue XPS Annette - great to see your post - glad your son did well!! > > > > > > > > > Yes it was Soma according to my USA buddies, she comes over here sometimes, Sue saw her recently with her lad that's just started FCT> > > > Mandi x> > > > > > > > > Is it Soma? Need to dig out those DVD's again Mandi and give it another go perhaps because we are nowhere with communiction. I'd like to know though if the non verbal who do communicate through these methods are less learning disabled, there must be variations in that among the non verbal severe's. Wonder if County would pay for a visit to Soma lol.> Vicky> > > > > > > > > > > > Very good internview with Kate WInslet re Golden Hat Foundation> > > > > > > > Click here: [HD] Kate Winslet Interview On Live With 03-26-2012 (Part 3) - YouTube> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
