Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I love those flip books. We made dozens for Boone. I'd send them to you, but he's pretty well trashed them now. Sissi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Yes Yes! This is n, too. My ST thought that if words were like a file in the brain, then in n's brain the file is open, but he has difficulty pulling the file he wants, many files come out at random. It's frustrating.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 BINGO!! That's it right there! Perfect explanation. I see it in each of my kids from on down to . Each manifests a little bit differently but the thought process, or rather lack of thought ordering, is inherantly the core problem.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 , This was a AHA! kid of statement to me, too, when I read it. It explains so much of what I see on a daily basis. What can we do about it? Try to help them connect the information in a logical (ie. NT) way. They will need the connection and the organization explained over and over again because their brains don't automatically do it. EX:Just because I have the multiplication facts stored up there doesn't mean that I can find the fact I need when I get a problem at school. ( " Just give me a minute while I dig around in here. I know it's in her somewhere! " ) And then, suddenly, out of nowhere pops a marvelous fact at the appropriate moment and you think, " What the f# & *? " How can you say the number 76 and he instantly pops out with " 19 times 4 " ? This from a child who can't tell you which is more: 91 or 19. Who knows? Leggs> BINGO!! That's it right there!

He will want to say something to you, but he stops because he can't find the words he wants to use. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 >>>>>>>> He is doing well with picking up sign, but he is having so much difficulty with communicating anything but merest basics. Maybe this will be a bridge to help him identify the right words for the object. <<<<<<<< This actually makes perfect sense, . I look at it this way with reading and comprehension... Reading is easy for hyperlexics. Letters putting words together. Big deal. But a bunch of words together is 2 dimensional. They have no conrete relationship with anything. The " pictures " are not there. I think that with Jacqui and Brandt and others that " acting " scenes out with characters helps with comprehension. That's where might be someday...
