Southern_mom Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think my 8 yr. old ds has pragmatic language issues. He often speaks to others as though they're dense or ridiculous or speaks in a very defensive/aggressive manner. It's very embarrassing. (He also has SPD). Is there any unit study or program I can use at home to help him with this. I can't do on-line stuff cause my connection is so slow. I'd like to do a social language group, but haven't heard of one in our area. Would it be beneficial to work with a counselor on this? Thank you for taking the time to answer. Liberty.

emonline Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 If you go to http://www.linguisystems.com, this company has books and games that teach pragmatics. A friend of mine had the game FriendZee (not sure of the spelling), and really liked it because it taught the necessary skills, but it was a "game" so her child would actually "work" on it without complaining.

Southern_mom Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Great! This is a wonderful site. I appreciate you steering me in this direction. I also found out that the rehab place I requested a referral to also has help in pragmatic language skills. Hurray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
