Thinking Skills/Executive Function program
Program Goals: A co-existing problem, when learning is difficult, may be poor foundational skills that support reading, comprehension and math. The foundational cognitive skills to be developed, strengthened and automatized are concentration, perception, short-term, long-term and working memory, and logicial thinking. Using an eclectic approach with emphasis on Audioblox® the goal is to develop strategies to self-regulate, self-check, self-correct, plan, and to be flexible in thinking.
Behavior Indicators:
-
Not sure of left or
right
-
Poor sequencing of letters or numbers
- Poor time awareness
-

Lindamood
Phoneme Sequencing® for Reading, Spelling, and Speech
(Language Skills) and/or The Phono-Graphix® 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 programs then use the oral-motor information to "feel" sounds to determine the
symbol/letter, the order of the sounds in words with practice in reading, writing, strategies for sight words, and comprehension skills.
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
Visualizing & Verbalizing® 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
-
Difficulty expressing ideas in oral conversation
-
Follows only part of
an oral direction, has difficulty completing a task, or reaching a
destination
-
Verbal humor is not understood

Math Skills: Structural Arithmetic by Stern and Gould & On Cloud Nine®
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"
