Technika planu dnia a różne cele edukacyjno-terapeutyczne w grupie przedszkolnej dla dzieci z poważnymi zaburzeniami w porozumiewaniu się

Abstract

Creating day, activity or session plans using spatial-tactile or graphical signs is one of the first techniques used in the process of learning augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Usually discussed is its value for the support of understanding situations and regulation of behaviours of children with developmental difficulties. The technique is commonly used in kindergartens or special schools but it usually comes down to the situation in which a teacher creates a plan at the beginning of a day or session. The article describes the way of using the plan as a tool for organization of the linguistic environment. It suggests various versions of arranging the technique depending on the therapeutic aims set for a child within the area of social and linguistic techniques, communication pragmatics, movement perception and engagement. It allows therapists and teachers to use the technique of a day plan in a way that is more adequate to the developmental needs of particular children who learn the augmentative or alternative communication.
