AnonyMouse_21338 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Im completing this form -never done one before, and my brain has decided its Friday teatime and has given up on me, can anyone help with the definition of verbal comprehension ? - does this mean being able to understand what they are being told -eg, give me the ball - or - put the ball in the bucket symbolic understanding - is it that one object represents another ? or that they can understand symbols ! help please !

AnonyMouse_9650 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This link might help with clarifying symbolic functioning (there's other info in the document too) http://www.pearsonhighered.com/showcase/arnettmaynard/assets/pdf/ArnettMaynard_ChildDevelopment_ch06.pdf and this one will hopefully clarify verbal reasoning (verbal comprehension) https://www.slc.cambridgeshire.nhs.uk/ActivitiesIdeasandInfo/PrimarySchool/ReceptiveLanguage/VerbalReasoning/tabid/1406/language/en-GB/Default.aspx You are not alone - my weekend homework is to write up a TAC and complete a statutory assessment request - once upon a time I thought I worked with young children but more and more I find I have become a report writer and panel beater! (joke - all cases now have to go before a panel to get anything - so support for children is very much reliant on how well a case is presented - so much for a level playing field in early intervention :angry: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_15046 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Fimbo, could you ask your area SENCo to help you complete this form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_21338 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 we dont have area senco's anymore - well not a real person, more a disembodied voice on a telephone ! i have my advisory teacher who has been very helpful, so i am going to call her next week - just wanted to clarify things so i could get the right info before i did.
