This product contained 20 statements in flashcard form focusing on self-advocacy skills. You can use this as a fun end of the year activity or even as an assessment to gauge your student's understand

doesn't fix the communication breakdown and often leaves the speaker and the
listener frustrated. These 50 digital task cards on the BOOM

...s, and build spoken language, descriptive vocabulary, questioning skills, and auditory processing skills.YOU CAN TARGET: These games target and can build auditory memory, comprehension, processing, descriptive vocabulary, grammar, using clear speech, and social skills.TWO GAMES IN ONE RESOURCE: Game 1: TOP DOG* is a two-player game where players use differential yes or no questions to listen and isolate a specific dog based on critical elements. Game 2: GO FETCH* is a two or more-player game where players ask questions and listen to match pairs of dogs and their belongings cards. Kids love these cute and cuddly dogs and ask to play time and time again. I have used versions of both of these games SUCCESSFULLY for years while working with children who are deaf and hard of hearing, those with auditory processing needs, and students who need to develop listening skills.* These games are versions of the traditional Go Fish and Guess Who games that are played with rules to target listening and spoken language skills. Both games can easily be adapted to meet a child’s ability level. The cards can be sorted into sets of fewer cards which would be an easier listening set. Use all 36 different card designs for a more complex game.INCLUDES:✧ A complete guide with detailed instructions ✧ 36 enticing colorful game cards used for both TOP DOG and GO FETCH!✧ A digital gameboard for Top Dog✧ Listening and Spoken Language TipsFACE TO FACE - TELETHERAPY - HOME✢ PRINT - One-time easy prep. ✢ DIGITAL - The Top Dog digital gameboard can be opened and played with your favorite PDF reader app on a tablet or iPad.
