Reading comprehension is often a concern for the teachers of students with autism. Many teachers tell me that their students with autism can read but that "they don't understand anything." It is always tricky to respond to such statements as many students with autism do understand what they read but cannot effectively express what they know. That is, some students with autism only appear incapable of comprehending text. Because students with autism have movement and communication differences, they may struggle to answer questions and express ideas in traditional ways. Some students might be unable to "find" the words needed to answer comprehension questions (or any question for that matter). Others may know the words but be unable to answer questions when directly asked to do so. It may be hard for some teachers to understand that a student could fluently read a text, know exactly what it means, and be unable to communicate that information. And those who do understand these gaps may be stumped at how to engineer other ways to help the student show what she knows.

This is great. Dayton is more verbal now, but if anxiety kicked in, he could very likely forget our phone numbers.

Is your child Nonverbal? Does she have Apraxia or limited speech? Equip your child with Alert Me Bands; the wristband that can communicate when your child can't. Our customers say that they have taught their child to point to their alert, like 'I am Nonverbal' to lessen the anxiety they feel when they are being prompted to communicate. www.AlertMeBands.com

Alert Me Bands communicate who to call in an emergency as well as other critical information (i.e. medical/special needs or allergy alerts). These are just some of the bands that shipped out today ( #'s blocked to protect privacy), so many of our customers are not only using our bands as a communication tool for their children, but also to create awareness for their language deficits.

Please share; our high quality bands are adjustable, durable, water safe and impossible for young children to remove (or your money back!, see our FAQ page).

Customize your band online now; www.AlertMeBands.com
It's simple; just choose any design, fill out your emergency contact info and then click the box to add alerts to one or both sides of the yellow rectangle.
