Can Do Kids Video, set of four on DVD
These videos are a multi-sensory presentation to aid in memorizing math
facts. One DVD now includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and addition. Each comes with Adobe Acrobat files containing teacher’s guide and a booklet file that includes reproducible pages for written drills and practice. Each math fact “family” (0 through 12) has its own song and movement, and the math sentences are shown across the top of the screen as the Can-Do Kids perform. Math vocabulary is also taught throughout the DVD. These videos are appropriate for visual, auditory, and tactile-kinesthetic learners. They are excellent for the child who needs to be in motion, since they can exercise with the videos and work on math facts at the same time. The opening song on each video has the Can-Do Kids singing that they “can do all things through Christ”.
Callirobics for Ages 7-14
Callirobics Ages 7-14 are a series of simple and enjoyable graphical patterns to be traced by the child while listening to popular melodies. These patterns introduce the basic elements of writing movements in a “stress free” method. Patterns are more advanced, connected and geared for cursive writing. There are ten sessions with two exercises in each session. Each session is practiced for five minutes. We recommend repeating each exercise for a whole week. The music is upbeat for the straight patterns. It is calm and slow for the curved and round patterns.

Time Timer Original, Audible Alarm
The ORIGINAL TIME TIMER is an 8” timer with a red visual display. The display can be set for up to 60 minutes and the red disappears as time elapses. This is an excellent tool for children who do not know how to tell time yet, as well as for those children who do not have a natural internal sense of the passage of time. Using the Time Timer frees adults from the frustration of multiple and frequent verbal reminders to the child to continue working on assigned tasks by providing a constant visual reminder of the passage of time. It is also extremely useful in helping children who have difficulty transitioning to new activities, since the children can tell at a glance how much time remains before a change in activity will occur. The size of the Time Timer makes the display easily visible from across a room, and can help older children develop better time management skills.
AUDIBLE ORIGINAL TIME TIMER has the option of an audible “Ding” when time has elapsed or completely silence.
Time Timer, Personal Audible Alarm
Personal Time Timer has a 2 1/2” face. The cover swings back to become the base. Comes with a carrying case that fits on your belt Available with a audible “Ding” when time has elapsed or completely silent.

Visual Strategies for Improving Communications, L Hodgdon
This book is a collection of practical ideas and techniques: how some educators have taken sound theory and research, added a
dash of creative experimenting, and translated it into meaningful training and programming tools for students who experience
moderate to severe communication disabilities.
When we take on the task of working with students who learn differently, our most familiar teaching strategies and goals are put
to the test. Students can learn. The question is what and how. Our responsibility as professionals or parents is, in part, one of
“discovering” them. Most importantly, we need to discover how he learns; how she understands. That is the key …. to determine
what is inside, hidden behind a veil of behaviors and perceptual handicaps, and to discover how to reach it effectively. This discovery
process has revealed a large group of students who understand what they see better than what they hear.
It is through this discovery process that the concept of using Visually Supported Communication or Visually Mediated Communication
strategies has evolved and developed. Success has built upon success. As one student or teacher has benefited from one idea,
the challenge has been to develop a second and a third. Over a period of several years the results have been dramatic. Testimonials
from school staff and parents have supported the direction enthusiastically.
