Self-Advocacy Strategies – What would you do?

The post Race to the Brain Game first appeared on Supporting Success For Children With Hearing Loss.

Achieving true independence and self-advocacy is a journey for students with hearing loss.

What is challenging? One aspect of that journey is becoming aware of situations that result in communication challenges. The new Listening Inventory For Education – Revised was developed to assist students in identifying their many challenging listening situations in school.

Why is it challenging? Another part of the journey is recognizing what the problem is behind the listening challenge. This increases the student’s awareness of that he may be missing information. It also serves to help the student predict when listening challenges may occur so that he can be prepared to self-advocate or use communication repair strategies.

What can you do? The game What’s the Problem? consists of a game board, 48 situation cards and 48 strategy cards. There are 24 school challenges and 24 social/community challenges. Students identify if the listening challenge is due to the person listening (hearing loss), the person talking, or the listening setting. These situations are then paired with one or more strategies to address the problem and can be the basis for extensive role-playing and discussions about fitting in, being responsible, and becoming an assertive communicator.

Simple, Fast, Powerful – and Inexpensive!

• Start with teaching how to predict when challenges may occur, even if the student has not been aware that he has been missing information.
• Build a knowledge base of ways to anticipate, control or respond to challenging situations.
• Respond to emerging challenges in the classroom or socially by supporting student learning in why there is a problem and how he or she could respond.
• Use the situation and strategy cards in various ways (Concentration, Go Fish) for targeted learning in a few minutes of fun.
• Take advantage of the situations/strategies to discuss how it makes the student feel when situations happen and how his classmates view him as a communicator (passive? assertive?) and potential communication partner.
• As situations and strategies are matched, take the opportunity to role-play and practice appropriate language to use to request clarification or respond to challenges.

• The content of What’s the Problem? complements the Rule the School   and Monkey Talk self-advocacy games in building knowledge about self-advocacy in a fun way!

Also included in What’s the Problem?:

Instructions on how to use the What’s the Problem? materials with one child/student or  two or more people/students.

An example IEP goal and three objectives based on the common core standards have been provided.

Using Your Communication Repair Strategies at School – delineates questions for students to ask themselves when they know that they missed information. This can be a bridge between being aware of situations and figuring out when it is important to act.

What YOU Can Do to Help Yourself – Self-Advocacy Strategies is a colorful ‘menu’ describing the basic strategies. It is helpful to refer to in discussions and role-playing.

QUIZ – What Can YOU Do to Help Yourself – Self-Advocacy Strategies is a companion to the ‘menu’ and designed to be used as a pre-test/post-test to demonstrate baseline knowledge and subsequent growth.

All contained in a study Poly Booklet Envelope to protect the game materials for years. The protective envelope is large enough for you to add other materials to further enhance your self-advocacy work with students (i.e., some of the Rule the School games will fit too!).

We think it is incredibly important to support student’s growth in self-advocacy skills. When we came across Monkey Talk we were thrilled. It’s fun for students as they work to identify causes of communication breakdown, strategies to address the breakdowns and, if that wasn’t enough, it also provides practice on multiple meaning words and idioms! Good by itself or great to add to your self-advocacy game choices. Learning self-advocacy skills can be fun!

Monkey Talk Game focuses on communication challenges

Students move around the board. When they land on green, they turn over a communication challenge. They then identify if the challenge is caused by a speaker, listener or environmental factor.

Finally they choose a solution to the challenge. The other squares require them to define an idiom (50+ cards) or a multiple meaning word (100+ cards). Included are data collection tools as well as IEP goal suggestions. Goals are aligned with Common Core Standards.

Monkeys live in small groups and rely on each other. They have a lot of fun bouncing around on trees and swinging from branch to branch, but they also communicate with one another. They let the other monkeys know what they want and need. They have to cooperate together as a group to thrive in the wild. The Monkey Talk game teaches children with hearing loss the skills they need to let others know what they need to be able to hear and communicate their best. Although it may not be as fun as swinging through the trees, learning Monkey Talk skills will help children communicate more effectively – so more fun, more friends and more success!!!!

One of my long time interests is communication repair, which resulted in the development of the SCRIPT, Student Communication Repair Inventory & Practical Training. After writing it I longed for materials that would allow users of the SCRIPT to easily work on Step 4, during which the student is provided with a story to repeat or other age-appropriate materials while the teacher/clinician mumbled, mispronounced words, added noise, turned her back, etc. Hear It, Fix It is a simple but very flexible set of materials that makes it easy to ask students to follow simple to very complex directions. Inexpensively priced, it is a wonderful companion to the SCRIPT, or by itself!

Hear It, Fix It

HIFI is a unique, versatile game. It can be used to address:

1) Aural Rehab ( following simple to complex directions )

2) Articulation/ Expressive Language

3) Development of Communication Repair Strategies.

There are 2 sides to the board. One side has only colors. The other side features colors as well as 4 categories: Animals, Fruits, Hearing Aids, and Clothing. The game cards included are common shapes, minimal pairs and location cues cards. There are squares with the same color to provide you the opportunity to provide more complex auditory directions. (e.g., Put the circle on the blue square that is on the right side of the board.)
