How this book works:
Because
children with language deficits can be such visual learners, I've put
this book together to use with our son during his
I've also provided
helpful hints at the bottom of some of the “questions” pages to assist
you along your way. I've even included data collections sheets for you
to keep track of your child's progress during the drills.

Introduction to
Instructions on how to use this book
Book Sections
Section One: Matching Identical Pictures
Matching
is a valuable skill that can be used to establish or improve
instructional control. Since so many children with Autism or other
developmental delays have a difficult time learning to focus on the
words used by others, they sometimes find it easier to be taught to
attend to and match visual stimuli.
Section Two: Continuing Sequence Patterns
Patterns
are around us everywhere we look. We see patterns on leaves, in sand
and even on brick walls. There are patterns in numbers, words and
colors. Understanding patterns helps children begin to break down codes
in reading, math, writing and spelling.
Sequencing
is also fundamental to young learners. Understanding sequences helps
children develop problem solving abilities. For example, we learn to
follow directions in a sequence. Our own thought patterns are connected
to the ability to sequence events.
In
this section, you will be able to introduce your child or student to
different types of patterns designed to develop perception of shapes
and pictures in a sequence. These drills will introduce your learner to
patterns and sequences while establishing the foundation needed in
order to transfer these skills to everyday situations.
Section Three: Attributes
All
objects have properties or attributes that distinguish them from other
objects. Learning to discriminate and identify these attributes helps
to foster oral communication.
In
this section, your learner will be asked to make sense of the shapes
and pictures. He or she may be asked to identify a picture based on its
color, shape, design, spatial relationship, features, or other
attributes.
Section Four: What Does Not Belong?
Using
the skills learned in section three, your learner will begin to use
discrimination and picture association to identify what picture is ‘out
of place’ in pictures presented to him or her. In this section, your
child or student will be asked to decide what picture doesn’t belong
based on associations or categories.
Section Five: Yes / No Exercises
In
this section, you simply want to help foster communication with your
child on the simplest level. If your child is able to answer yes or no
to questions, that’s terrific! Use this section to maintain those
skills. If your child is not able to functionally use yes or no to
communicate his or her wants or needs, here’s a place to start. These
drills are designed to simply introduce your child to the meaning
behind yes and no. You may need to model each response several times
for your learner to catch on. You’ll then be able to ask questions
about preferred and non-preferred items. Being able to answer yes or no
to questions is a huge accomplishment indeed. These drills will help
your child get on the right track to being able to tell you what he or
she desires.
Section Six: Letters and Their Sounds
This
section will help teach the relationships between the letters of
written language and the individual sounds of spoken language. These
drills will set the foundation for phonics instruction. It’s here that
we begin to teach children to use these relationships to read and write
words. Knowing these relationships will help children recognize
familiar words and decipher new words.
Section Seven: Word to Picture Matching
In
this section, you want to help your learner begin to sound out the
words and then match the correct word to the corresponding picture.
This is great practice for beginning readers.
Section Eight: Labeling Features
The
ability to label objects or features of objects is a major cornerstone
of language development. In this section, your learner will be asked
to identify body parts or attributes of different objects. You can
start out requiring only receptive labeling and then move on to
expressive labeling
Book Four: Receptive, Expressive & Intraverbal Language Drills
(Teaching Feature, Function & Class)
This is a 63 page
book containing 150 color photographs. I've made this book because two
very challenging aspects of an Autism Treatment Program are finding
just the right picture to teach, and knowing the right questions to ask
about each picture.
ROL - Receptive Object Labeling
VI - Verbal Imitation
EOL - Expressive Object Labeling
RFFC - Receptive by Feature, Function & Class
TFFC - Tacting by Feature, Function & Class
IFFC - Intraverbal by Feature, Function & Class
Each picture has a ‘questions box’ providing you with just the right questions to ask about each and every picture.
