Tam gives me a huge hug and KISS as the therapists thank us for our week of teaching.
What do you think, do you think Tam appreciates us? We sure appreciate the opportunity to teach her and her colleagues. This is what Judy and I love to do; share our passion for teaching parents of children who are deaf how to listen and talk - what a great week!
Judy and I help the teachers organize their toys in to bins according to the skills in the Simser Ongoing Auditory-verbal Assessment Form; Audition, Language, Speech, Cognition, & Communication.
Judy explains as she sorts. The teachers organize their toys. What a big job, but a lot of fun!
Matching objects to pictures: I show them the photos I took last year and the objects I gathered for them. They can do some listening activities with matching picture to object. They like the chicken under the basket and the woman in the rice field wearing gloves! I also teach them how to play "Go Fish" with other doubles of Vietnamese photos I share. Laughing, listening to each other, and getting pairs, they want to play all afternoon. I leave the photos
