Do you consider yourself a visual learner? Can you imagine if your only form of communication was through pictures? My students use pictures to make sense of their world. My students use pictures to make their basic wants and needs known.
In Temple Grandin’s groundbreaking masterpiece, “Thinking in Pictures” the brain of an individual with Autism is described as a filing cabinet with a picture for every vocabulary word. Grandin explains that she was a non-verbal child who was absorbing and storing all of the visual information that she was exposed to in her own amazing brain for years before she ever spoke a word. If you are reading this, than you may know and love someone with Autism. Google the name “Temple Grandin” and you will be shocked that she was once considered non-verbal.
Now a published author, professor, and public speaker, Temple Grandin cites the quality early education programs that she attended as the reason for her success and ability to communicate today.
My students need more pictures, so that they can find their own voices. This project will help me enhance their learning environment with more pictures and eventually MORE WORDS.
