Emergent Literacy Strategies for Children with Autism and Other Developmental Delays

Description This workshop will look at the important development of Emergent Literacy Skills for children with Autism and other Developmental Disabilities. Extensive video clips highlight the importance of relationship develpment, adapted supported reading and sound and letter play. Woven throughout are the foundational underpinnings of augmentative communication and technology. Participants will gain an understanding of using supported readings, and establishing communication and interaction around reading with the young child with disabilities. An understanding of the Building Block Model(precursor to the Four Block Models) will be established and adapted in light of working with children who are verbal and non-verbal.
