Description: Story-Based Language Intervention for Children With Complicated Language Problems, Including Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities\n\nChildren with complex learning problems (CLP) and autism spectrum disorder need to learn important language and academic skills. These children are often in situations that may not be meaningful to them and hence are too complex for learning to occur. Due to the importance of understanding and telling stories for all children, Nurturing Narratives was developed as a story-based language intervention for children. The model emphasizes comprehension, tailors language to the child's developmental level and stresses social engagement. The acquisition of language and literacy skills is embedded in a variety of story-related activities. Do you know somebody who is suffering from a autism spectrum disorder? There is help. Nurturing Narratives and books like it can help you assist those who struggle with day-to-day social engagement issues.
