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.

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
āreadā
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.
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.

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 teacherās 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
āHear 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.

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
āHear 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.

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.

behaviour and a profession that provides services to meet diverse
behavioural needs.

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
āHear 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, 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 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.

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

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

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 āsound of
referenceā 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¦..

Ā· To provide access to musical knowledge, skills and understanding through
the teaching of music as a discrete subject or within a cross curricular
approach.
Ā· To access the music curriculum in an inclusive context

Developing cause and effect means helping a child understand that theyāre
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.

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
canāt 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
āHear 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
