MAGIC BOX
- The Hocus Pocus Magic Box is an activity to increase basic communication
for children with a complex multiple disabilities.
- With the Magic Box we want to get contact by teasing the different senses
in a very systematic and coordinated way.
- Materials are offered to the children and every one gets enough time to
explore the objects, follow with his/her eyes, to listen, to feel, to
manipulate, to smell and even to taste.
- In every session we use the same structure. We always start and end the
activity with waving a heavy coloured table sheet on the same song we use
every time. Then we put the materials on a magic way on the table and offer
them to the children.

SOCIAL READING
Reading is linking speech sounds to characters (sound-symbol), which are
synthesized from left to right until a word is formed (c-a-t makes cat).
Reading includes not only a technical aspect, but also a comprehensive
aspect (reading comprehension). It requires a double decoding:
a) Graphical code that must be converted into a sound code (c-a-t is
pronounced /k/ĀØ/ae/ /t/).
b) A meaning that must be given to that soundcode.
Social Reading = signal-reading: an object, photo, image, icon or whole-word can be
ā€žreadā€Ÿ
This requires a single decoding: giving meaning to a certain image.
The learning process that is used to teach this method is associative learning.

FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION
Is an instrument to explore underlying competence for augmentative
communication, it measures perception and sense-making of non-transient
forms of communication at the levels of presentation and representation.
The target group consists primarily of individuals with autism and intellectual
disability (ID) without or with only limited verbal communication.
The ComFor is suitable for children and adults with a developmental level
between 12 and 60 months. Determination of the level of sense-making is
crucial for individualized interventions.

FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION
FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION
First level: sensation
In this level children can smell, feel and see. And have a comfortable feeling
of objects, smells, views and feelings they are used to.
Ex: these children will splash their hands in a glass of water.
Second level: presentation
In this level children recognize things when they are in front of them.
Ex. these children will know that they can drink from a glass filled with water.

FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION
Third level: level of representation
The child can recognize objects and/or pictures and understand that they are
related to places or activities.
Ex. The child knows that a picture of a glass of water will refer to drinking.
Fourth level: meta-representation
The child sees different meanings of a picture/object
In this level the child can see the glass also as something to put a flower in.
The level of communication determines the ability of a person to understand
AAC.
The level of communication can be tested with the COMFOR (Noens e.a.)

ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS)
The philosophy behind the approach of Active Learning is that, if given
opportunity to learn from his own active exploration and examination, the
child will achieve skills that become part of his personality.
The teacherā€Ÿs task is to lead the child out of passivity to activity and help to
achieve motor abilities. They have to create an environment that is
appropriate for these children to learn and to develop actively and they help
the multiply disabled and visually impaired child to achieve as much
independence and autonomy as possible.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS)
Learning becomes possible if the child:
ā€¢ is given opportunities to learn from the level to which he is developed.
ā€¢ can discover, experiment, and explore with many ways of performing an
activity and thus learn the most practical way for him to perform a skill
successfully.
ā€¢ has sufficient time to experiment and the opportunity to repeat an action as
many times as necessary in order to store the information gained and to
confirm that a specific way of acting gives the same result, and so
comprehend the reality of it.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS)
ā€¢ has the opportunity to compare his experiences. This allows him to discover
similarities and differences, to recognize specific experiences, to associate a
new experience with others already stored in the memory, to link experiences
with each other, and later on to categorize and generalize experiences.
ā€¢ has somebody with whom to share his interest and experiences. This
allows him to learn how to initiate interaction.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS)
Infants and children learn within several areas of development
simultaneously. Ability achieved in one area influence abilities in other
areas, so that the areas are intertwined and experienced by the infant or
child as a small entirety. Through self-activity and interaction with others, this
entirety should gradually contain more and more detail as the child
comprehends and masters the several parts, becomes able to connect these
parts, and finally is able to perceive a bigger entirety.
In summary, learning is achieving knowledge by being active.

APPLIED BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS (ABA)
Behaviour Analysis is the scientific approach to studying the behaviour of
organisms. It uses scientific methods to look at the individual organism. Its
main objective is to discover principles and laws that govern behaviour.
Behaviour Analyses has 2 branches experimental and applied behaviour
analysis.
ABA which is both an applied science that develops methods of changing
behaviour and a profession that provides services to meet diverse
behavioural needs.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF ABA
Discrete trial training is an educational strategy based on the principles of
ABA. It involves breaking down the skills into smaller components and
teaching those smaller sub skills individually. Repeated practice of skills is
conducted and teachers may incorporate prompting procedures as
necessary. Correct responses are followed by reinforcement procedures to
facilitate the learning process.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF ABA
Reinforcement: is a process in which a consequence of a child's behavior is
"rewarding" enough so that the child begins to engage in the behavior more
frequently.
Prompting: When teaching an individual with a disability, you often need to
deliver specific prompts to elicit a response. Prompts make learning more
positive and increase the efficiency of instruction by minimizing student error.
Prompt fading and Prompt Hierarchy : When we begin teaching a new skill
we may begin by giving a full prompt and slowly slowly we remove prompts
so that the child begins to act independently.
Error correction procedures: If an incorrect response is given, typically it is
correct with a simple, neutral "Noā€œ, and the trial is often repeated to give
another chance. If a number of incorrect responses are done, the level of
prompting may need to be increased.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF ABA
Take data: Data collection helps ABA therapists accurately measure
performance throughout the teaching process. Not only does it provide them
with a deeper understanding of how the child progresses, but it enables them
to monitor any setbacks or to identify any changes in environment or stimuli
that led to different responses. It also helps parents and educators come up
with behavior plans and to make adjustments to the curriculum as needed.

USE OF INERACTIVE BOARD FOR TELLING A FAIRY TALE
IWB (Interactive White Board) is great for demonstrations and can make the
fairy tale more magical and interesting.
Is a multi-sensory and colorful tool which allows students to attend through
visual, auditory and tactile means bringing in much more focus all around.
Reaches a variety of learning styles by keeping the students engaged and
motivated. Student with limited motor skills can enjoy. Special needs
students can manipulate the IWB with more ease than a traditional
computer/mouse set up.
IWB gives teachersā€Ÿ the opportunity to adapt material for handicapped
students. The large fonts and bright colors are helpful for both visually
impaired students and those who have trouble staying on task, while
students who respond well to kinesthetic learning will benefit from touching
the board.

MUSIC THERAPY - THE USE OF MUSIC AS A NON- VERBAL
COMMUNICATION
How we define communication?
Communication is the transmission of information with a medium from one
person to the other.......
How we define Music?
Music is any element that can be perceived through hearing, but also with
other senses such as touch, through vibration.
Clinical improvisation in creative Music Therapy
The use of music as a nonverbal communication in music therapy is called
clinical improvisation.... Is the process where the client and the therapist
relate to each
other through music.
LISTEN.... LISTEN.... LISTEN......
By listening to the clientsā€Ÿ music, it can provide the Music Therapist a point of
where to begin or bring the music improvisation.

MAKE CHOICES
The main focus in our work is to give the students possibilities to have
influence on the daily life at school and the wider community. To reach this
goal it Is important to give the students communication-systems which are
adapted to each students level, physically and mentally.
Different reasons do that most of the students need AAC, for supply for
spoken language, or they use AAC as main communication.
We have developed communication-systems for each student, who give
them possibilities to influence on their life at school, home or other arenas in
their life.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
MAKE CHOICES
Here are some examples:
Possibilities to choose which music they want to listen to. On the wall we
have different pictures who symbolize different kind of music. The student
take a picture from the wall, and put it on the cd-player. Then the teacher
help the student to find this cd.
Every picture is specially trained (learned) before they start to use them in
natural environments, so we are sure they understand what each picture is
symbolizing.

We are also using communication-sheets, that`s the same principle as the
book, but it`s only one theme (example: bread meals)
When the student starts using pictures as communication, we start with
communication sheets, then the sheets where put together to a
communication book.

COMMUNICATION
Dairy with photos
To give the students the opportunity to tell their families or others about the
day at school, some of them bring pictures or a dairy with pictures with them
to their homes. In that way they have possibilities to tell people in their
surroundings about what happened at school today.
This dairies/pictures give them opportunities to have communication with
different people (example: at school, the daycare-centre, and others they
meet in their lives).
COMMUNICATION
Day and week schedule
Mobile day-schedule is a very useful tool for several students. They always
have the possibility to get a reminder of what will happen, even if they aren`t
at the classroom. A mobile schedule help them to having a focus at the
activity they are going to do. It is specially useful when the students are
changing between different rooms at school.

In the school those who have special educational needs share some of the
activities with their peers from the mainstream school. As in example, during
the activities of the artistic field pupils from both schools work together in the
same classroom. Those who attend the mainstream school takes care of
their special peers during lessons and help them in order to achieve the
same aim carrying on the activity together.
Furthermore they share the same common spaces such us the
restrooms, dinning room, gym and so on.

SHERBORNE DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT
Sherborne Developmental Movement (SDM) is a form of therapeutic
intervention, which seeks to engage participants in interactive
learning, through shared movement experiences, which have their origins in
the normal patterns of human development. These movement experiences
are presented in an environment that is open to personal response, non-
judgemental and firmly rooted within the concept of achievement and
success.

MUSIC POLICY
Music is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way
people feel, think and act. It brings together intellect and feeling and enables
personal expression, reflection and emotional development.
As an integral part of culture, past and present, it helps people understand
themselves and relate to others, forging important links between the
home, school and the wider world.
It can develop a sense of group identity and togetherness, and increases
self-discipline and creativity, aesthetic sensitivity and fulfillment.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
MUSIC POLICY
Music is taught both as a discrete subject, and in a cross curricular way. In
order for pupils to learn through their most effective means, and to work to
their strengths and abilities, a multi-sensory approach to teaching and
learning is often used in music activities.
All classes throughout the school use music activities to support other areas
of the curriculum ā€“ live and recorded. Music is also used as a ā€žsound of
referenceā€Ÿ or auditory cue throughout the school day ā€“ to encourage
recognition, awareness, participation, anticipation.
Key skills are taught through music : choice making; gross and fine motor
skills; communication; anticipation; social interactions; turn taking;
developing receptive and expressive communication; responding to
instructionsā€¦..

CAUSE AND EFFECT TO COMMUNICATION
To progress from experimental ICT, our students need to develop and
understanding of cause and effect.
Developing cause and effect means helping a child understand that theyā€Ÿre
able to extend influence and control over their immediate environment, that
and action on their part can cause a response, either from other people or
from objects around them.
Switches give our students a cognitively less challenging way of interacting
with ICT equipment, simple pressing the switch makes something happen.
Because of this, switches are an ideal way to experience cause and effect.

CAUSE AND EFFECT TO COMMUNICATION
Itā€Ÿs important to focus the studentā€Ÿs attention on the activity that results from
pressing the switch rather than on the switch itself.

look at the effect they have created, the effect triggered by pressing the
switch.
Itā€Ÿs important to give them lots of opportunities to practice using the switch
throughout the day.

5.- Play with two switches: Start a Stop a device and Chose activities with
these two switches.
6.- Switch Timing activities: Learning to wait until pressing the switch to
trigger the reward.
7.- Two switches, two actions: each switch has a role to play in the
activity, for example one switch to turn on a radio and the other one to turn it
off.
8.- Formal scanning activities: a box moved through a series of choices
where the learner has to press the switch when the desired object is
highlighted.

AUDITORY SCANNING
Auditory scanning is a strategy for giving a student choices orally. It is often
useful for a student who has severe visual and motor impairments, and who
canā€Ÿt directly access tangible symbols, pictures, or a voice output
communication device.
Auditory scanning is also a useful strategy for those students who have more
complex systems, such as picture boards or voice output devices, but, for a
variety of reasons (e.g., forgot to bring it, breaks down), is not available.
The basic idea of auditory scanning involves verbally providing the student
with a list of messages; then repeating them, and waiting for the student to
indicate a choice from among these messages.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
AUDITORY SCANNING
There are a variety of methods that the person can use to indicate a choice.
It can be as simple as making a gross sound or gesture or it can be more
refined using a switch.
Using this technique, the person can communicate by spelling and creating
novel messages.
The different ways of presenting auditory scanning can include live voice or
aided scanning.
Using this technique items are listed, usually linearly, and the person signals
when they have heard the item that they would like to select. The scanning
stops and the communication partner must remember the last item listed
because that is the choice that has been made.
COMENIUS PROJECT
ā€œHear my Voiceā€
AUDITORY SCANNING
This should be and example of auditory scanning structure:
Menu1: Activity, People, Places, Feelings
Your student might choose ā€œfeelingsā€. You would then provide your student
with the next appropriate sub-menu from which he/she can select:
Menu2: Happy, Mad, Frustrated, Scared

  • 4. MAGIC BOX - The Hocus Pocus Magic Box is an activity to increase basic communication for children with a complex multiple disabilities. - With the Magic Box we want to get contact by teasing the different senses in a very systematic and coordinated way. - Materials are offered to the children and every one gets enough time to explore the objects, follow with his/her eyes, to listen, to feel, to manipulate, to smell and even to taste. - In every session we use the same structure. We always start and end the activity with waving a heavy coloured table sheet on the same song we use every time. Then we put the materials on a magic way on the table and offer them to the children. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€
  • 5. MAGIC BOX OBJECTIVES: ā€¢ Increase the awareness of other people ā€¢ Increase the impressions of the grimes and eye contact ā€¢ Improve the auditory attention and a better listening attitude ā€¢ Increase the awareness of materials ā€¢ Reactions on all kind of visual signs ā€¢ Reactions when having fun or sadness ā€¢ Expressing likes and dislikes ā€¢ Reacting when somebody is calling them ā€¢ Asking for attention and demanding more materials ā€¢ Sharing attention ā€¢ Sharing pleasure COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€

  • 7. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ SOCIAL READING Reading is linking speech sounds to characters (sound-symbol), which are synthesized from left to right until a word is formed (c-a-t makes cat). Reading includes not only a technical aspect, but also a comprehensive aspect (reading comprehension). It requires a double decoding: a) Graphical code that must be converted into a sound code (c-a-t is pronounced /k/ĀØ/ae/ /t/). b) A meaning that must be given to that soundcode. Social Reading = signal-reading: an object, photo, image, icon or whole-word can be ā€žreadā€Ÿ This requires a single decoding: giving meaning to a certain image. The learning process that is used to teach this method is associative learning.

  • 11. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION Is an instrument to explore underlying competence for augmentative communication, it measures perception and sense-making of non-transient forms of communication at the levels of presentation and representation. The target group consists primarily of individuals with autism and intellectual disability (ID) without or with only limited verbal communication. The ComFor is suitable for children and adults with a developmental level between 12 and 60 months. Determination of the level of sense-making is crucial for individualized interventions.
  • 12. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION
  • 13. FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION First level: sensation In this level children can smell, feel and see. And have a comfortable feeling of objects, smells, views and feelings they are used to. Ex: these children will splash their hands in a glass of water. Second level: presentation In this level children recognize things when they are in front of them. Ex. these children will know that they can drink from a glass filled with water. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€
  • 14. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ FORERUNNERS IN COMMUNICATION Third level: level of representation The child can recognize objects and/or pictures and understand that they are related to places or activities.

  • 16. JOHANITERSCHULE (GERMANY ā€“ DUISBURG) GOOD PRACTICES: ļ± ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS ļ± OPTICAL AIDS COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€
  • 17. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS) The philosophy behind the approach of Active Learning is that, if given opportunity to learn from his own active exploration and examination, the child will achieve skills that become part of his personality. The teacherā€Ÿs task is to lead the child out of passivity to activity and help to achieve motor abilities. They have to create an environment that is appropriate for these children to learn and to develop actively and they help the multiply disabled and visually impaired child to achieve as much independence and autonomy as possible.
  • 18. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS) Learning becomes possible if the child: ā€¢ is given opportunities to learn from the level to which he is developed. ā€¢ can discover, experiment, and explore with many ways of performing an activity and thus learn the most practical way for him to perform a skill successfully. ā€¢ has sufficient time to experiment and the opportunity to repeat an action as many times as necessary in order to store the information gained and to confirm that a specific way of acting gives the same result, and so comprehend the reality of it.
  • 19. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS) ā€¢ has the opportunity to compare his experiences. This allows him to discover similarities and differences, to recognize specific experiences, to associate a new experience with others already stored in the memory, to link experiences with each other, and later on to categorize and generalize experiences. ā€¢ has somebody with whom to share his interest and experiences. This allows him to learn how to initiate interaction.
  • 20. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACH (LILLIE NIELSEN MATERIALS) Infants and children learn within several areas of development simultaneously. Ability achieved in one area influence abilities in other areas, so that the areas are intertwined and experienced by the infant or child as a small entirety. Through self-activity and interaction with others, this entirety should gradually contain more and more detail as the child comprehends and masters the several parts, becomes able to connect these parts, and finally is able to perceive a bigger entirety. In summary, learning is achieving knowledge by being active.

  • 23. APPLIED BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS (ABA) Behaviour Analysis is the scientific approach to studying the behaviour of organisms. It uses scientific methods to look at the individual organism. Its main objective is to discover principles and laws that govern behaviour. Behaviour Analyses has 2 branches experimental and applied behaviour analysis. ABA which is both an applied science that develops methods of changing behaviour and a profession that provides services to meet diverse behavioural needs. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€
  • 24. PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF ABA Discrete trial training is an educational strategy based on the principles of ABA. It involves breaking down the skills into smaller components and teaching those smaller sub skills individually. Repeated practice of skills is conducted and teachers may incorporate prompting procedures as necessary. Correct responses are followed by reinforcement procedures to facilitate the learning process. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€
  • 25. PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF ABA Reinforcement: is a process in which a consequence of a child's behavior is "rewarding" enough so that the child begins to engage in the behavior more frequently. Prompting: When teaching an individual with a disability, you often need to deliver specific prompts to elicit a response. Prompts make learning more positive and increase the efficiency of instruction by minimizing student error. Prompt fading and Prompt Hierarchy : When we begin teaching a new skill we may begin by giving a full prompt and slowly slowly we remove prompts so that the child begins to act independently. Error correction procedures: If an incorrect response is given, typically it is correct with a simple, neutral "Noā€œ, and the trial is often repeated to give another chance. If a number of incorrect responses are done, the level of prompting may need to be increased. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€
  • 26. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF ABA Take data: Data collection helps ABA therapists accurately measure performance throughout the teaching process. Not only does it provide them with a deeper understanding of how the child progresses, but it enables them to monitor any setbacks or to identify any changes in environment or stimuli that led to different responses. It also helps parents and educators come up with behavior plans and to make adjustments to the curriculum as needed.
  • 27. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ USE OF INERACTIVE BOARD FOR TELLING A FAIRY TALE IWB (Interactive White Board) is great for demonstrations and can make the fairy tale more magical and interesting. Is a multi-sensory and colorful tool which allows students to attend through visual, auditory and tactile means bringing in much more focus all around. Reaches a variety of learning styles by keeping the students engaged and motivated. Student with limited motor skills can enjoy. Special needs students can manipulate the IWB with more ease than a traditional computer/mouse set up. IWB gives teachersā€Ÿ the opportunity to adapt material for handicapped students. The large fonts and bright colors are helpful for both visually impaired students and those who have trouble staying on task, while students who respond well to kinesthetic learning will benefit from touching the board.
  • 28. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ USE OF INERACTIVE BOARD FOR TELLING A FAIRY TALE OBJECTIVES ā€¢To give the opportunity to the children to have fun and be entertained by watching and listening to the fairy tale. ā€¢To stimulate childrenā€Ÿs imagination and help them get into a world where anything can happen. ā€¢To help children to calm down and relax. ā€¢To give the opportunity to the children to interact and participate according to their own needs.
  • 30. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ MUSIC THERAPY - THE USE OF MUSIC AS A NON- VERBAL COMMUNICATION How we define communication?

  • 36. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ BEKKEFARET SCHOOL (KRISTIANSUND - NORWAY) ļ± MAKE CHOICES ļ± COMMUNICATION: ā€¢Communication book ā€¢Dairy with photos ā€¢Day and week schedules
  • 37. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ MAKE CHOICES The main focus in our work is to give the students possibilities to have influence on the daily life at school and the wider community. To reach this goal it Is important to give the students communication-systems which are adapted to each students level, physically and mentally. Different reasons do that most of the students need AAC, for supply for spoken language, or they use AAC as main communication. We have developed communication-systems for each student, who give them possibilities to influence on their life at school, home or other arenas in their life.
  • 38. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ MAKE CHOICES Here are some examples: Possibilities to choose which music they want to listen to. On the wall we have different pictures who symbolize different kind of music. The student take a picture from the wall, and put it on the cd-player. Then the teacher help the student to find this cd. Every picture is specially trained (learned) before they start to use them in natural environments, so we are sure they understand what each picture is symbolizing.

Examples; bead meals, bathroom, family, horse-ridingā€¦ With this book the student can ā€œtalkā€ to people she meets at all arenas. We are also using communication-sheets, that`s the same principle as the book, but it`s only one theme (example: bread meals) When the student starts using pictures as communication, we start with communication sheets, then the sheets where put together to a communication book.
  • 41. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ COMMUNICATION Dairy with photos To give the students the opportunity to tell their families or others about the day at school, some of them bring pictures or a dairy with pictures with them to their homes. In that way they have possibilities to tell people in their surroundings about what happened at school today. This dairies/pictures give them opportunities to have communication with different people (example: at school, the daycare-centre, and others they meet in their lives).
  • 42. COMMUNICATION Day and week schedule Mobile day-schedule is a very useful tool for several students. They always have the possibility to get a reminder of what will happen, even if they aren`t at the classroom. A mobile schedule help them to having a focus at the activity they are going to do.

  • 44. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ INCLUSIVE EDUCATION The Brooks on the Broadwaters is an inclusive campus where two special education schools and one primary mainstream school joined in order to share the same building, a new school called The Brooks. In the school those who have special educational needs share some of the activities with their peers from the mainstream school. As in example, during the activities of the artistic field pupils from both schools work together in the same classroom. Those who attend the mainstream school takes care of their special peers during lessons and help them in order to achieve the same aim carrying on the activity together. Furthermore they share the same common spaces such us the restrooms, dinning room, gym and so on.

  • 49. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ MUSIC POLICY Music is a powerful, unique form of communication that can change the way people feel, think and act. It brings together intellect and feeling and enables personal expression, reflection and emotional development. As an integral part of culture, past and present, it helps people understand themselves and relate to others, forging important links between the home, school and the wider world. It can develop a sense of group identity and togetherness, and increases self-discipline and creativity, aesthetic sensitivity and fulfillment.
  • 50. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ MUSIC POLICY Music is taught both as a discrete subject, and in a cross curricular way. In order for pupils to learn through their most effective means, and to work to their strengths and abilities, a multi-sensory approach to teaching and learning is often used in music activities. All classes throughout the school use music activities to support other areas of the curriculum ā€“ live and recorded. Music is also used as a ā€žsound of referenceā€Ÿ or auditory cue throughout the school day ā€“ to encourage recognition, awareness, participation, anticipation. Key skills are taught through music : choice making; gross and fine motor skills; communication; anticipation; social interactions; turn taking; developing receptive and expressive communication; responding to instructionsā€¦..

  • 61. CAUSE AND EFFECT TO COMMUNICATION To progress from experimental ICT, our students need to develop and understanding of cause and effect. Developing cause and effect means helping a child understand that theyā€Ÿre able to extend influence and control over their immediate environment, that and action on their part can cause a response, either from other people or from objects around them. Switches give our students a cognitively less challenging way of interacting with ICT equipment, simple pressing the switch makes something happen. Because of this, switches are an ideal way to experience cause and effect. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€
  • 62. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ CAUSE AND EFFECT TO COMMUNICATION Itā€Ÿs important to focus the studentā€Ÿs attention on the activity that results from pressing the switch rather than on the switch itself. Never talk about pressing the switch and always encourage the students to look at the effect they have created, the effect triggered by pressing the switch. Itā€Ÿs important to give them lots of opportunities to practice using the switch throughout the day.
  • 63. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ CAUSE AND EFFECT TO COMMUNICATION We can do different activities at different levels such as: 1.- Press and Let Go: time rewarded activities 2.- Press and Hold: toys, electrical appliances 3.- Press it Again: switch building, slideshow maker, toys with a toy controller device 4.- Turn On and Off: MP3 Player, toys, electrical appliances

  • 65. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ AUDITORY SCANNING Auditory scanning is a strategy for giving a student choices orally. It is often useful for a student who has severe visual and motor impairments, and who canā€Ÿt directly access tangible symbols, pictures, or a voice output communication device. Auditory scanning is also a useful strategy for those students who have more complex systems, such as picture boards or voice output devices, but, for a variety of reasons (e.g., forgot to bring it, breaks down), is not available. The basic idea of auditory scanning involves verbally providing the student with a list of messages; then repeating them, and waiting for the student to indicate a choice from among these messages.
  • 66. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ AUDITORY SCANNING There are a variety of methods that the person can use to indicate a choice. It can be as simple as making a gross sound or gesture or it can be more refined using a switch. Using this technique, the person can communicate by spelling and creating novel messages. The different ways of presenting auditory scanning can include live voice or aided scanning. Using this technique items are listed, usually linearly, and the person signals when they have heard the item that they would like to select. The scanning stops and the communication partner must remember the last item listed because that is the choice that has been made.
  • 67. COMENIUS PROJECT ā€œHear my Voiceā€ AUDITORY SCANNING This should be and example of auditory scanning structure: Menu1: Activity, People, Places, Feelings Your student might choose ā€œfeelingsā€.
