This Way to Language - Vyshedskiy, Andrey

. .

Résumé :
If you suspect your child has autism, this book is for you. Neuroscientist and inventor of Mental Imagery Therapy for Autism (MITA) Dr. Andrey Vyshedskiy explains how to give your child the best chance to think and speak at his or her age level. This book is a result of a five-year study of children with autism. It zeroes in on the most promising use of time, effort, and resources and is a practical day-to-day guide for parents like you. At the heart of the book is Dr. Vyshedskiy's methodology for strengthening language pathways in the brain of a young child. The methodology doesn't simply train children to memorize new words. It teaches them to connect the words, understand syntax, and draw conclusions-all the skills necessary to master language and move on to other school subjects. The book contains twenty-nine daily exercises to help your child progress from little or no verbal ability to age-appropriate and advanced levels. MITA does not rely on trained therapists and gives you, the parent, full control over your child's development. To aid you in this challenging task, the book discusses all major areas of your child's life. It also details personal experiences of parents who have brought their children along the path to complex language.
