This video will give you some ideas about how to use a gears toy in a playfully educational way.\r \r Its a good idea to watch the video on how to use a communication book first:\r \r \r Here is a link to the Tomy Gearation toy I use in this video:\r \r \r Apraxia:\r \r \r More information about communication books . . . \r A communication book is an inexpensive, effective tool for supporting your childs early communication. This video walks through some steps to helping your child improve requesting skills using visual supports.\r \r I didnt mention this in the video, but do NOT use verbal prompting when pricing this with your child. Model appropriate language (= I want bubbles please!), but DONT say things like, What do you want? or Show me!\r \r Binders - this one is especially great because it has a little clear pocket in the inside where any pictures not in use can be stored!\r \r \r Alternate (less expensive) binder (similar to the one in the video):\r \r \r Velco Dots:\r \r \r Laminator - I havent used this particular one, but Ive used a wide variety and there arent that many differences (check reviews and do research before buying):\r \r \r Picture Exchange Communication System - different from what I do slightly, but a great, well-organized system:\r \r \r \r \r Studies on Visual Supports Helping Children Learn Language:\r \r \r \r Find a Speech-Language Pathologist:\r \r \r Getting Help Through Public School District (U.S.A.)\r \r \r Recommended Books on Visual Supports:\r \r \r \r \r Have fun!
