So, I have a whole unit on Language for Learning in my Intermediate Learner Course. Those Language for Learning kits are expensive when new, but you might be able to go on eBay and get a kit for a couple hundred dollars. I would systematically go through the kits. And then once that’s done, do Language for Thinking, and then Language for Reasoning and Writing.
I would say that speech pathologists are better at teaching inferences than behavior analysts. I could assure you that’s the case, so I still would be concerned about teaching inferences in any rote manner. I would also highly recommend that you look at the book program.
The school thought he was fine. They just wanted to include him and stop Language for Learning. They said Language for Learning didn’t seem very functional. I had Adam since he was two, he had gone from non-vocal to vocal with me. Now he’s sort of conversational, and Language for Learning was the most important part of his day. I told the school, listen, he can either go be a kid that ends up in college or he can be a kid that ends up in life skills and needs support for the rest of his life. That’s how strongly I felt at that point.
