The goal of LEGO® therapy is to improve Social Competence (SC), which has three components:
motivation to initiate social contact with peers;
ability to sustain interaction with peers for a period of time;
overcoming symptoms of aloofness and rigidity (seen often in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders or Asperger Syndrome.)
This is on of the resource pack that can be used in sessions.
Using colourful semantics to support students with language difficulties. This resource will support their sentence building and develop their understanding of sentence structure. A whole week plan included with all resources.
Sometimes, it can be hard to talk about epilepsy. There is fear and misunderstanding about epilepsy and seizures. Not everybody can recognise if they are about to have a seizure, especially very young children.
Talking about epilepsy can help staff and students realize that children with the condition are just like other children and can lead full, active lives. Talking honestly and openly about epilepsy will also help teachers and the students. This social story will raise awareness and immediate support for the individual child at a time of epileptic episode either during play time or lunch time in the playgrounds and away from class teacher.
At the dentist is a social story to help prepare children with Autism feel less anxious about a visit to the dentist. A social story is a narrative made to illustrate certain situations and problems and how people deal with them. They help children with autism understand social norms and learn how to communicate with others appropriately.
Young children need play experiences at the same time as language stimulation in order to understand and use the concepts. Box Clever aims to do just this. It provides a method of language stimulation within the classroom that incorporates:
Play that is fun
Daily repetition of activities
Adults talking to children at the right level as they play
Opportunities for children to experiment while playing with their friends
The aim is to improve the vocabulary and the storytelling skills of every child in the class.
This resource has the Colourful semantics cards added to this to support non verbal students to be able to construct sentences and communicate their stories.
This training will provide valuable insights on managing spitting behavior in children with autism. I would like to emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying causes and triggers to effectively address the challenging behavior. The suggested strategies, such as teaching functional communication, positive reinforcement, coping skills, and using visual supports, offer practical approaches to curb spitting episodes. Keep in mind there is a need for personalized interventions, considering each child’s unique needs and characteristics.
Brilliant resource to support SEN students. Builds on social skills difficulties, turn taking, language for communication. Use with AAC for lego therapy. Available in my resource store.
