(SMiLE) is a multi-sensory program that teaches speech, reading, and writing in a cohesive way to individuals with the most severe language-learning and literacy disabilities.
Introduced into NYC schools in 2008, the program was initially used in classrooms with students with a wide range of developmental and educational challenges. Since then, we’ve developed sequences and supports tailored to the needs of client groups across age ranges and ability levels. The program is currently used in schools around the US and Europe for students of all ages in typical, integrated and self- contained classrooms.
Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP)™ is a therapeutic approach using motor learning principles and a voice output communication aid to give non-verbal individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities a method to develop independent and spontaneous communication. Individuals using the LAMP approach learn to use words and build sentences to communicate their wants, needs and ideas by pressing buttons on a speech generating device.
