Abstract

Establish a 400-word vocabulary in nonverbal children and lay the foundation for communicating with pictures and signs. Children learn the new vocabulary in a variety of formats so they truly comprehend the words.

The teaching methods are what most nonverbal children need: rote, systematic, and familiar. The activities progress in the hierarchy that most verbal children acquire language:

- learning labels and attaching meaning

- developing vocabulary and concepts

- expanding vocabulary knowledge through associations and experience

The vocabulary is divided into five themes: Home, Community, Food, School, and Animals. Each theme consists of eight units and each unit teaches 10 functional vocabulary words (total of 80 vocabulary words in each theme).
