Holy cow!! I can't believe the steps involved in blowing your nose, from getting the kleenex, to actually planning how to blow your nose and get the kleenex in the garbage can in the end! Here is the plan Gary and I came up with... you can see we got hung up on the choices and processes. I had to actually create a social story this year for a student with Autism who had great difficulty blowing his nose. The bottom line ended up being a sensory issue for him not liking the feeling of anything coming out of his nose! He also had difficulties with walking down stairs one not one at a time, and lots of washroom etiquette problems.
PBS documentary:
Episode 2 The Child’s Brain- Syllable from Sound ( PBS)
Dyslexia: difficulty learning to process language due to differently wired brains. ( hypersensitized on breaking down sounds in words and then putting them back together- what a lot of Speech Language Pathologists use as part of their programming- Linda Mood Bell) Interesting to learn more about the brain wiring with people with Dyslexia. I remember 20 years ago we were told by our school psychologist in Tri-County that children could not be assessed for Dyslexia until Grade 3!
