Building Language Using LEGO® Bricks: A Practical Guide de Dawn Ralph

Building Language Using LEGO® Bricks: A Practical Guide

Autor Dawn Ralph, Jacqui Rochester Cuvânt înainte de Georgina Gomez De La Gomez De La Cuesta
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 aug 2016

Subliniem, încă de la început, utilitatea acestui volum prin formatul său riguros și aplicat: un manual de 152 de pagini, structurat pentru o implementare imediată, ce include 16 pagini de resurse ilustrate și acces la materiale digitale esențiale pentru monitorizarea obiectivă a progresului. Building Language Using LEGO® Bricks nu este doar un ghid de activități, ci un instrument clinic de intervenție, organizat metodic pentru a sprijini copiii cu tulburări severe de limbaj receptiv și expresiv, adesea asociate cu autismul sau alte nevoi educaționale speciale.

Considerăm că organizarea logică a conținutului — de la fundamentele teoretice ale afectării limbajului, până la ghiduri de configurare a sesiunilor și măsurarea rezultatelor (outcomes) — oferă terapeuților o traiectorie clară de lucru. Merită menționat că experiența autoarelor, Dawn Ralph și Jacqui Rochester, în logopedie pediatrică și educație specială, se reflectă în secțiunile dedicate rolului facilitatorului și în studiile de caz care ancorează teoria în realitatea clinică. Ca alternativă la Building Blocks for Communication de Amy Eleftheriades, acest volum se distinge prin focalizarea specifică pe patologii complexe de limbaj și pe utilizarea structurii de construcție ca vehicul pentru concepte lingvistice abstracte, nu doar pentru colaborare socială generală.

Spre deosebire de lucrarea fundamentală LEGO®-Based Therapy a lui Simon Baron-Cohen, care pune accent pe dezvoltarea abilităților sociale, volumul de față rafinează tehnica pentru a ținti specific achiziția de limbaj și înțelegerea conceptelor dificile. Această abordare hibridă transformă jocul de construcție într-un cadru predictibil și motivant, esențial pentru pacienții care necesită structură și suport vizual constant.

Recenzii

It was a pleasure and an honor to read Dawn Ralph and Jacqui Rochester's guidebook for language development using LEGO® materials. The work is an extension and expansion of the LEGO®-based therapy approach that has been previously published by my colleagues and me. That work focused on social development strategies using LEGO®, which necessarily involved an emphasis on effective communication. Ralph and Rochester have taken that emphasis a step further, and have focused in particular on the language-based aspects of the LEGO® therapy process - the receptive and expressive components of functional and social communication that are emphasized by the joint, collaborative LEGO®-building process. They have also shown how the method can be utilized with children with cognitive and language-based disabilities who were not included in the original LEGO®-based therapy trials.
Ralph and Rochester's work is clearly and succinctly written, well-researched, but not mired down in theory or the minutiae of research literature. It is, therefore, a very pragmatic, commonsense, and yet evidence-based methodology, accessible to anyone in the helping professions who has an interest in improving functional and social communication in children with language-based disabilities.
It is a special pleasure for me to read this pragmatic and well-considered manuscript. When I first started doing LEGO®-based therapy groups in the later 1990's, there was very little literature available on effective interventions, and none of my colleagues were aware of LEGO® as a potential therapy tool. It was really only Tony Attwood, and Robert and Lynn Koegel who were supportive of this type of approach - using naturally-reinforcing content and materials, and utilizing peers to help shape social development. Later, I was also encouraged by Fred Volkmar's kind words about my first published study. He said the method showed promise.
In that first paper, I invited other clinicians and researchers to consider utilizing the LEGO® materials, and to try variations of the method I was using, with different populations, etc. Since that time, there have been other publications based on the original method, but this is the first real modification and extension of the LEGO®-based therapy method. So, twelve years later, the manuscript by Ralph and Rochester, does show evidence that the original approach can be modified and generalized, and provides a long-awaited response to my invitation. I will pass along the encouraging words that I received from the venerable Dr. Volkmar: this work of Ralph and Rochester certainly shows promise. I hope it catches on.

Building Language Using LEGO™ Bricks is a fantastic approach, and the book did not disappoint. The language used throughout is accessible, yet extremely detailed, making it a book for parents and professionals alike. I have been lucky enough to attend the course run by Dawn and Jacqui, and their personalities shone through as I read the book; it's the perfect companion to the training Dawn and Jacqui provide, and is a must have for anyone who is interested in using LEGO™ as a tool to deliver language therapy.
This book is organised, easy to read and gives clear instructions about how to set up and run a session with children interested in LEGO™ and construction. The intervention has been adapted and developed using the technique hands-on with the children, and it shows. Practical guidance and an engaging activity make the intervention do-able!
