My Ds has ASD/Lang Disorder with word retrieval difficulties and his SALT mentioned she wanted to try shape coding with him, he is only 3 1/5 and has mainly learnt/scripted speech. His Salt feels as he is so visual and has good attention to detail that he may learn well through shape coding, she briefly explained it to me but I am completely lost as to how it can work and can only find complex articles on google.
I would be really interested to hear from others who have used/using or tried it. My biggest concern is my DS is very literal and would focus on the shape rather than the meaning but his SALT thinks in time he could possibly get passed this, she also said it had be aimed at older children but that they are seeing some success in younger children ( not the grammar, that is not the focus for the younger ones but more sentence structure and verbs I think) .
Any thoughts welcomed
