The Talkies program aligns with a theory of cognition, Dual Coding Theory, and through sequential steps brings the nonverbal code of imagery to consciousness. The goal is to engage the individual to consciously create and access mental representations and stimulate his or her awareness of the imagery-language connection. Talkies is not intended to diagnose or be an exclusive treatment for speech-language pathology and audiology disorders. Talkies is a primer to the Visualizing and Verbalizing™ (V/V) program, and the goal of Talkies instruction is to develop mental imagery as a base for language comprehension and expression. Talkies is especially helpful for students who need simple, smaller steps of instruction to establish the imagery-language connection. Talkies instruction may benefit students with prior third-party diagnoses of expressive language delays or autism spectrum disorders.
Goals The goals of Talkies, primer to the Visualizing and Verbalizing™ program, are to: ~Bring nonverbal imagery to consciousness ~Establish the imagery-language connection ~ Increase oral vocabulary ~ Improve language comprehension and expression
Kathryn's first summer with us was a two-hour-per-day Talkies program, and she would consistently mix up size, shape, color, etc. and expressed herself by pointing or in one-word utterances. One day, Kathryn was looking around the house, and Julia said, "Kathryn, what are you doing?" Kathryn, said, "I lost a toy." Julia said, "Can I help you look for it?" and Kathryn answered, "Yes. It's this big, round, and gray." All in one fell swoop, she got all the concepts right and expressed in a complete sentence! At the end of her second summer of Talkies, Kathryn told us that she wanted to learn to read. We started her in SI, and her reading jumped up to grade level with just 2 hours/day for about two months, never having been taught even her ABCs at school! Her teacher was thrilled. Kathryn continued to V/V and OCN Math this summer, and did really well. Click here for more student stories.
