Work with Dr. Fosnot

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

I wonder if anyone could give me some insight on what

I am supposed to be doing with my son. In Dr.

Fosnot's report she writes: " 60 min. per week, 60

minutes per session: Each session to be divided into

15 min. segments. Auditory processing to strengthen

receptive language development, vocabulary and syntax

training in the area of expressive language

development, speech motor/articulation activities and

a generalization task to be completed per session. "

Unfortunately, we were not able to schedule a one hour

session to receive an example, before we left

California. So we will have to wait til next year. I

did speak to her briefly to clarify what to do and she

said to use a book called " Asking Good Questions " and

Asking More Good Questions " , but these were out of

print. (Does anyone have these that they are done

with that they would like to sell?) Then she said 15

min. on auditory and vocab, 15 min. on expressive

vocab and auditory and then 15 min. on a generalized

task to go back to reading and expressive

categories--relating back to auditory if there were

missed words, etc. She said something about using

Kidworks and not letting him use the mouse.

I am feeling rather overwhelmed at this time. I did

get 2 books from Super Duper on auditory processing

and I have done a page from each, but I am not quite

comprehending what to use and how to do the rest. I

will soon be calling for a phone conference with Dr.

Fosnot, but I was hoping that someone out there who

has been thru this could give me some good

tips/explanations first. It is all feeling a little

cloudy at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks! Barb PS: My son is 14 and fairly high

functioning but has some definite auditory and other

deficits. She feels that he can fully come up to

grade level, so I want to do this just right!
