Work

By -
Today, was one of those mornings that did not have a good start. As Ramam's Christmas vacation is still on, I decided to sit and work with him and not let anything bother me. Luckily,this morning he was very receptive, and we spend good about an hour and half working and not realising that time had flown. Both of us were doing a lesson from one of his books. It was almost meditative, with both of us being involved and me enjoying his responses and cooperation. It was just the two of us shut out from the rest of the world, with no disturbances whatsoever.
Sometimes you think in work lies your salvation. Just stay focussed and keep going.

It is more of an activity centre where children go after school hours with more emphasis on social and play skills. This academic session, they plan to run a school. They focus on games that promote functional academics. It can be a starting point for early intervention from where the child can move on. The school timings would be 9.30-12.00 .The next were a group of schools on the Sarjapur road; Greenwood high, Inventure academy. It is a huge waste of tim

Augmentative communication

By -
When I started out with PECS ,my mother was very apprehensive that it could impair his speech development.So are may people. My mother had her rationale to it.She felt if one makes it very easy to demand things with picture cards, why should he bother to talk?We have been assured over and over again by therapists whenever we use any aided communication,either verbal behaviour/ PECS, it doesn't stop him from talking. When you give a picture card for water,you stress on the word every time he demands for water.There are no substitutes for talking but these are crutches in some sense,it lowers the child's frustration and gives him an opportunity to communicate.
