Language Builder

A few months ago I purchased a set of Language Builder Picture Cards that Jack's speech therapist introduced last year. I love the detail of the pictures and Jack can interpret the information much better than a "cartoonish" picture or black and white stick/symbol type of drawing.

He impressed me the moment we opened the package! He knew so many different pictures and this was without practice or prompting (our set is different than the ST's). He loves to go through the set and has come up with some cute words for things as well. For instance, there's several similar pictures of the same thing -- but they may be a different color, in a different setting, etc to help with generalization skills. We came across a picture of a grey, fluffy, long-haired cat and he immediately said "HAIR!!!!!" to this day he still calls that cat hair...all I do is say yes, that's a cat, and he has LOTS of HAIR!

Jack wasn't totally enthusiastic about reading the cards in front of the camera, but I think the video is a good example of what he's learning. The sound/picture gets a little funky in the middle where Jack's mouth isn't moving with the sound! I don't know why that happened...anyway, enjoy our sweet little student studying his cards!

PS -- if you have any questions about the cards please feel free to ask here or email me at angwilhelm@gmail.com

The set was expensive, but very worth it!
