Autism, Gestalt language processors, sentence, SPED, vocabulary, building, Speech Therapy, special education, early intervention, literacy, GLP, NLA, Natural language acquisition ‘LET’S GO’ is an important phrase for helping children communicate. The Map Game uses imagination to allow children to use their new vocabulary and ‘LET’S GO’ phrase while having fun exploring the map of an imaginary town. It is also an opportunity to continue modeling the phrase “let’s go” for the child. Includes: 10 mazes of different levels. The maze activities allow children to apply the phrase ‘Let’s go’ to finding their way through a maze. How to use: Print out the mazes (below) that suit your child’s ability level. In each maze, the child will need to guide a character to a certain location. While the child is solving the maze, model the phrase ‘let’s go.’ Eg. If the aim is to get the character to the shop, say, “Let’s go to the shop.” Support your child in solving the maze, or solve the maze as a team if needed. Praise your child when they complete the maze.

Teaches children emotions through stories designed for Gestalt Language Processors and visual learners. Social Emotional Learning, Gestalt language, SEL, ASD, Special Education, neurodiversity-affirming, neuro-inclusive, Early Intervention, Autism, Speech Therapy, Kindergarten. Includes: Four stories - Happy, sad, angry and scared. (Both in **PowerPoint and pdf **format so they can be used as a presentation or printed off and used as a book.) Emer is a neurodivergent elephant with sensory sensitivities who changes color depending on her emotions. She focuses on teaching children the basic emotions of happy, sad, angry and scared, how to identify these emotions in themselves/others and how to manage their emotions. As autistic children tend to learn best with visuals, Emer has been designed to provide children with a clear image of each emotion. The colors help children who struggle with** identifying expressions and body language** to connect Emer’s movements and facial expressions with the relevant emotion. The stories are also designed using Gestalt Language techniques, simple language, repeated phrases, visuals and colors to make the stories easy for children with** language and communication difficulties** to access and understand. The information in this stories is then repeated in the other stories to help children to consolidate it. Children can find emotions very difficult to learn and often find learning the whole range of emotions and complex emotions overwhelming, because of this it is important to first build a strong base by focusing on these key emotions. Hope you enjoy the stories! We would love any feedback!
