Affect-Based Language Curriculum (ABLC): An Intensive Program for Families, Therapists and Teachers
Book Description: An innovative approach to the development of language that integrates the affect based model of human development, developed by Stanley I. Greenspan, M.D. (e.g. the Floor Time Model), with the development of receptive and expressive language, imitation, pragmatics, and engagement. The curriculum incorporates the principles of Systematic Instruction and Applied Floor Time as the primary teaching strategies. It also includes supplemental oral motor and augmentative communication techniques that support the development of language.
