Lindamood
Visualization/Conceptualization Program™
(Thinking Skills)
Program Goals: To use language to monitor visual-motor tasks. The
program develops the link between language and visual-motor
processing. Through drawing, the student determines the beginning
point, the ending point, and the necessary steps to get from one to
the other using "self-talk" to follow his/her directions. Behavior Indicators: Not sure of left or
right Reverses numbers and
letter shapes Unable to copy shapes
and designs Difficulty with
self-directing tasks

Lindamood™
Phoneme Sequencing for Reading, Spelling, and Speech
(Language Skills) and/or The Phono-Graphix tm
Method for Teaching Reading
Program Goals: To develop skills for self-correcting in reading and
spelling. The program stimulates an awareness of the way in which
the mouth forms the sounds in words. If the sound/symbol system is
intact but not being used successfully we stress the
written manipulated code. The multi-sensory program then uses
the oral-motor information to "feel" sounds to determine the
symbol/letter and the order of the sounds in words. Behavior Indicators: Adds, omits, or
reverses sounds in words when reading Adds, omits, or
reverses letters when spelling Avoids reading and is
reluctant to read aloud Writes with simpler
words than used when speaking

Comprehension Skills: Mosaic of Thourght by
Keene and Zimmermann integrated with the Bell
Visualizing/Verbalizing tm Program
Program Goals: To improve language comprehension,
reasoning, and expressive language skills - oral, written and
artistic expression. Facilitating CONNECTIONS text to text, text to
self and text to world, this program stimulates the brain's ability
to create pictures/images of the spoken word. These images are used
to "view" the ideas to be expressed orally, written or
artistically. Visualizing, therefore, enhances comprehension and
retention. Behavior Indicators: Rereads material
several times and still remembers only a few details, instead of
the whole idea Understands only part
of a conversation and has difficulty responding
relevantly Follows only part of
an oral direction, has difficulty completing a task, or reaching a
destination Doesn't understand a
joke

Lindamood/Stern Visualizing Math Program™
(Math Skills)
Program Goals: To develop skills to self-direct, self-check, and
self-correct when using elementary or upper-level math concepts.
The program develops concrete understanding of abstract
mathematical concepts. Through multi-sensory processes,
conceptualization and visualization strategies for addition,
subtraction, etc. are acquired. Step-by-step processing determines
what is given, what is needed, and how to "think the problem
through" to an answer. Behavior Indicators: Often guesses at an
answer without thinking first May do upper-level
processes (such as multiplication) but still has trouble with
elementary concepts Still uses fingers or
counts out loud to do simple math Inconsistent
performance on problems they describe as "ones I know how to
do" Cannot explain the
steps used to obtain an answer; states, "I just know
it"
