MAP will guide you so that you can teach your child to sit and attend to speech, language and communication. The video clips teach you how to monitor and shape difficult behaviors and how to teach concepts in a clear, concise and consistent manner. This consistency allows your child to learn how to attend which makes him available for learning. MAP features a Learning Lab, which organizes learning by level of developmental ability. A child starts out learning basic skills, such as how to imitate, listen and follow simple directions and moves on to learning more difficult and abstract language concepts when the simpler programs are mastered.
Children learn through play.
Special needs children, however, often need help learning how to play. MAP achieves this by integrating a highly structured approach which is supported by play and sensory-based activities. This unique philosophy, the integration of structure, play and sensory programs, enhances a child's ability to learn and use new skills in everday learning environments, like the playground or classroom. MAP features a Learning Lab that designs home programs-beginning with the development of imitation skills and ending with putting words together. Once a child consistently demonstrates that he understands what you are working on, all a parent has to do is key that information into the computer, and MAP will automatically introduce a more advanced Learning Program.
