Sharing A Visual Strategies Success Story
One of my newsletter readers wrote to me about their success with visual strategies…
“The most profound experiences that I have had using visual strategies is when a new child comes to me and his/her parents are so frustrated that their child not only does not talk, but also has behavior problems. I introduce the child (and parents) to visual strategies and the parents are always amazed at how quickly their child understands how to communicate. I then give the parents a few visual strategies (pictures, signs/gestures, etc.) to use at home and they come back the next session with a report of how well the visual strategies are working at home and in such a short time. Then it’s just a process of building on what works for that child.”
This is a great example that I hope can inspire others!
