Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 This CD can hopefully enable you to help the person you care for by devising a routine to suit the person and you. Limited levels of understanding make it both difficult for the individual concerned and the parent, carer, professional. One of the main obstacles is explaining what is happening and what to do about it. The visuals are designed to help you explain things and establish a routine for the individual. You can adjust the simplicity/complexity of the visuals according to understanding. There are symbols for changing & hygiene, concepts of start finish etc., feelings and pain with solutions and encouragement and reward. There are also a few tips. You can use the symbols to make charts, schedules and prompts to help the person get into a routine. By charting out the events the person can see that there is a beginning and end to the monthly cycle and you can show them how they may feel during this time, as well as establishing good hygiene. There are - 106 symbols 9 'well done' small symbols 4 large schedule strips to hold a row of four symbols 3 small schedule strips that take two symbols 1 Pocket reminder All are to print out and can be laminated and have hook and loop attached. You can print them as often as you need to and print a particular page by setting your printer for the task. You know the person and their level of understanding so you can adjust the visuals to suit. Page 4 has some clock faces where you can add the clock fingers yourself and write in the time. They can then be used for times to change themselves throughout the day. The files are PDF so you will need a PDF reader to view and print. There are no samples of the symbols showing because of the discretion needed for the subject matter, but please ask questions. Hope they help. ____________________________________ ____________________________________ _FREE Counters and Services from Andale _ (http://showcount.honesty.com/cgi-bin/showcounterseBay.cgi?site=0) Quote
