29
What are the implications to speech and language learning from children with SID?
-communication is a result of our (sensory) experiences--learning to communicate by hearing, seeing, touching, and moving about the world.
"There is a reciprocal relationship among perception, concepts and language"
- a well integrated sensory system becomes the vehicle for nonverbal expressions (gestures, smiles, frowns) and later for the production of speech and language
- the auditory and visual systems, when intact, allow us to be social participants : hearing-acquired/ comprehension-learned
- central auditory processing disorders
- motor control and motor planning are necessary for producing intelligible speech
- writing and reading difficulties
- disordered language: echolalic speech, stereotypical vocalizations/verbalizations, pragmatics
- inappropriate pitch and intonation patterns
- oral issues
- motor planning
- difficulty producing specific speech sounds
30
How does treatment help children with SID?
- helps the child process all the senses so they can work together
- treatment helps the child NOW when he needs assistance to function smoothly
- treatment helps the child develop skills to interact successfully in social situations
- treatment gives the child tools to become a more efficient learner
- treatment improves the child's emotional well being
- treatment improves family relationships
31
What does a sensory diet provide? (not necessarily referring to food)
- provides for the optimal combination of sensations at the appropriate intensities for each child
- based on specific needs
- the typical child is continuously "fed" by their environment
32
What are some intervention strategies for children with SID?
- building rapport
- teach to strengths
- individual directed
- therapist controlled
- get permission
- start with the familiar
- one thing at a time
- provide time
- be aware of sensory surprises
- ongoing assessment
33
What are SAFE activities to help kids get in sync?

E=easy
34

- grooming
35

37
Didn't know how to word this:
Finding time

- making contact
* planting the seed
* follow through
- realizing the impact of collaboration
38
Where is SI going?
- continued research to make this theory more acceptable
- continued increase in conferences and books
