Our daughter has been affected since birth by a genetic disease that caused deformities in the speech center of her brain, and has caused her to have autistic traits. As we have searched for various help and therapy to assist our daughter in learning to speak, we have noticed how she was stimulated by familiar faces and places. Her stimulation could easily be seen as she would scroll happily through our family's digital photo collection on our computer. My wife Ewa then decided to take photos of jessica's classmates and friends, and asked me to help her create simple descriptive sentences of the actions in the photographs. What we have created are sets of laminated photo cards with Velcro fasteners. Jessica's task has been to attempt to read the sentences, and match the correct sentence to the correct photo and fasten them together with Velcro. This was accomplished with visual pointing to associate the objects of interest in the photos, with their corresponding letter patterns or words. I would then speak to tie the idea with a spoken word label, while pointing to the written word. A few words could soon be recognized. I helped her to learn how to sound out words she could not recognize. Within a few cycles of the first card set, Jessica's skills developed rapidly. When we set out the next created card set, Jessica demanded to try by her self and was reading a remarkable number of cards without difficulty.
