Limited Capacity seats available
Challenges such as multi handicapping conditions, autism or learning disabilities can significantly interfere with self expression. The mechanics of written language production can be scaffolded with support to make writing fun and engaging.
A model will be presented which utilizes writing as a context for teaching imbedded skills such as joint attention, perspective taking, turn-taking, narrative language, and problem-solving. Parallels between writing and play skills will be demonstrated through video samples and hands-on practice. Specific techniques for introducing the fine motor components of writing, drawing and keyboarding within this play-based framework will be demonstrated. Bring your challenges and be prepared to generate some new ideas. Writing CAN be child’s play.
