Ellen Mazel and Marguerite Tibaudo Recognition and Compensatory Strategies.

Individualize:
Use familiar, recognizable objects to encourage tactile and visual exploration.
Replace images with a photo of a familiar, recognizable object.
Identify preferences for image type, orientations, background complexity, number of items on a page, and compensatory strategies.
Print multiples for matching & sorting activities.
Concept Development
Identification and labeling: What is this image? What do you see?
Recognition: Where is the _____? Find the ____. Show me the ____. Point to the ____.
Realistic Color Images, Parts of Realistic Color Images, Abstract Color images, Parts of Abstract Color images, Realistic Black and White images.
Parts of Realistic Black and White images, Abstract Black and White images, Parts of Abstract Black and White images.
Compensatory Strategies: What other strategies is the child using to recognize objects and images?

Sensory integration: tactile awareness, movement, sound cues, olfactory.
Color recognition: color pop-out, color coding, color highlighting.
Global form and size cues.
Predictability: memory of routines, prior knowledge, and context cues.

Complexity:

Images: salient features, preferred colors, multiple colors, orientations, partial images
Array: Adjust to your child’s tolerance level. 1 image, 2 images, 3 images, 4 images, 8 images, 10 images
Complexity of a scene- How much clutter and crowding can your child tolerate?

Matching: How many ____ are there? Show me one like this.

Match Object to Image
Match Image to Image
Match Image to Partial Image
Memory Matching Game with Images.

Sorting: Same & Different”

Find all the ______.
Which one is different?
How are they the same?
How are they different?

Patterns-use objects or images to form simple patterns. What comes next?
