This hands-on two-day workshop provides a detailed overview of Structured Methods in Language Education (SMILE), a practical, multi-sensory communication development program that engages children as they progress through basic attending, phonemic awareness and sound-letter knowledge to the use of language in a descriptive and conversational manner. This method can be successfully used with any student who has a severe language-learning disability including those classified as aphasic, and those with autism and Down Syndrome. ACT has brought back Dr. Wolf-Schein because of the very positive response received to her previous workshops in B.C.
