LinguiSystems: Just for Kids Autism



Just for Kids Autism

I use this product more with language delayed children than with children with autism.  It provides the visual support and structure for all children to learn more complex language.  Each unit in Just for Kids Autism is based on a fairy tale. The concept that occurs naturally within the fairy tale is developed throughout the unit (e.g., The Three Little Kittens - pairs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears - possession, The Ugly Duckling - negatives, Henny Penny - rhyming).  Each unit has the following elements:

1. pictures for sentence formation
2. sequence cards for story telling
3. rebus stories, comprehension questions and word picture matching to develop reading skills
4. games for social interaction
5. worksheets for concept development
7. craft for problem solving
To make the product easy to use, I have laminated the materials and placed them in hanging files.  Each unit also has a play set, i.e., miniature characters and items so the child can act out the story.  The clinician can just grab the hanging file and tub and dash off to a very fun and engaging therapy session.
