Teach Me Language is based on professional speech pathology methods developed specifically for parents and therapists who teach children with autism, Asperger's syndrome and other related developmental disorders language skills they need in school and in life. It is a step by step "How To" manual of instructions, explanations, examples, games and cards that attack language weaknesses common to children with pervasive developmental disorders. Areas targeted include Social Language, General Knowledge, Grammar and Syntax, Functional Knowledge and Written Expression, and Language-Based Academic Concepts such as sequencing, problem solving, time and money. This book should be introduced once the child has learned one and two word sentences, has some basic vocabulary, and can answer simple "What" or "Where" questions from a picture book. The children who benefit are visual learners. The exercises in this book, takes the child from one and two word sentences to more complex sentences that lay the foundation for conversation. The various activities are appropriate for children from kindergarten through the teenage years, with simple adaptation for cognitive level i.e. the materials become more difficult, yet the activities remain structured in the same way.
