Language Processing Treatment Activities Book

Ages: 2-15
Grades: Toddler-10

This research-based program trains language processing skills in the sequence of neurological development. Goals, activities, and reproducible materials make this the go-to resource for language processing therapy. Language processing therapy uses a wide range of tasks that retrain the brain so sensory, auditory, and verbal inputs are meaningfully integrated. The lessons in this product are a prescription for success.

The units are arranged in this developmental progression of language processing demands:

• Labeling
• Functions
• Associations
• Categorization
• Antonyms
• Synonyms
• Similarities and Differences
• Multiple Meanings
• Idioms
• Analogies

Each unit includes:

• developmental age level for the language skill
• long-term objective
• short-term objectives gradually increasing in language processing demands as the modality input (e.g., tactile, visual, auditory) decreases 
• suggested therapy activities and materials for each short-term objective
• print-your-own picture and word cards in PDF format (these are on the CD-ROM that comes with the book)
• suggestions for classroom implementation and incorporating curricular content in the therapy setting 
• note: The Labeling, Functions, Associations, and Categorization units require the use of objects common in everyday environments such as a glove, spoon, apple, shoe, toy car, etc.
