Product Description Language Builder 3D - 2D Matching Kits provide the manipulative and photo materials for the most common introductory ABA and Autism Education lesson - matching. The Food Matching Kit contains 16 foods and 16 photo cards: * 2 each of 8 different realistic plastic foods: Apples, Cookies, Bananas, Broccoli, Carrots, Corn, Orange and Bread * duplicate cards to correspond with each food. * The apples and cookies were chosen specifically to compliment the similar matching foods pictures in the Basic Stages section of the Language Builder Picture Noun Cards, so you can move seamlessly to similar matching, sorting and categorization lessons. Early language acquisition begins with the ability to understand objects as distinct and separate. Before learning that pictures represent real items (picture-object correspondence), children learn to match actual physical objects. This is a regular part of developmentally healthy play. Next, when children master the skill of matching a 3D object to a 2D image, they understand that a 2D image can represent an actual object. Now you can use pictures to teach a variety of new language and functional skills! Language Builder 3D-2D matching kits provide the tools so you can help children meet these critical language development milestones. The cards and the box are kid friendly, but not juvenile, making the Language Builder Series perfect for toddlers as well as for adult learning. ESL, Adults learning English or another foreign language, or Adults with Autism, Asperger's, Alzheimer's, aphasia, or those who need rehabilitation from stroke will not feel awkward using these cards. The Language Builder 3D-2D matching kit is durable and adaptable with a sturdy work-from box. Directions 1. Remove the Language Builder 3D-2D Foods Matching Kit from its packaging. 2. Spread out the 16 realistic plastic foods and 16 matching photo cards on a flat surface. 3. Begin by introducing one food at a time, showing the child the plastic food and its corresponding photo card. 4. Help the child match the plastic food to its photo card. 5. Once the child understands the matching concept, introduce two foods at a time and ask the child to match them correctly. 6. Gradually increase the number of foods and photo cards as the child's skills improve. 7. For additional learning activities, use the kit in conjunction with the Language Builder Picture Noun Cards for similar matching, sorting, and categorization lessons.
