help for dd whose oral stories don't flow??


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I've never considered my 11 yr old daughter as having a learning disability as she has no difficulty in school. She has had some minor attention issues and struggles with tics. Her "storytelling" is what concerns me. She jumps around a lot, adds non-essentials, clarifies, and constantly says "it's like...". It can be very difficult to follow what she's trying to communicate. Is there help for this? I tried to google it but found it difficult to search when I don't know what to call it. I would love if there would be something I could do with her at home. Any ideas?

I immediately thought of "Braidy the Story Braid". At a talk by an SLP, she mentioned this and demonstrated briefly the use of it. Basically, beads that are strung on the doll and represent key story grammar ideas: they serve as cues. The beads are added in a linear sequence to help with the sequencing of the story.

 

Other than that, I don't remember much, but this maybe a place to help you...
