Language & Autism - Strategies - Sequencing Common Events

My students often struggle to connect events in everyday common scenarios. It can be a need to flesh out the various aspects of each event and how to describe them. It may be that a connection needs to be made with each of these events. The language that describes these connections designates the order of the events. Conventional storytelling vocabulary and phrases may need to be developed. Focusing on everyday common sequences offers a good possibility of automatic and frequent redundancy. There is also a high expectancy that my student will have experienced the activities and will remember the various aspects of specific events with the help of carefully crafted images.
