TDLC Blog

Increasing attending skills.

We're going to do our next few blogs slightly differently, as we're going to do a multipart series. We'll focus on what people want to talk about most: COMMUNICATION!!! The truth is that communication is what sets humans apart, as we have the ability to describe internal events (hunger, happiness), future events, and past events. We are going to look at all the concepts needed for fluent communication. Notice when I say communication, I did not say verbal communication. You can be a fluent communicator with PECS or with signs, although verbal is our first goal.

I know I am getting older when I can't keep up with the new teeny-bopper stars like Lady Gaga and Hannah Montana, and I can't help but look at what an attention-maintained society we have become. ABA interventions can be for anyone, and it doesn't surprise me that our society is shifting to a more "look at me" sort of attitude.
