Therapeutic Education: Direction and Intervention: TEDI is a six volume program that will bring the young child from the initial traumatic brain injury or acquired condition through the acute hospitalization, into a rehabilitation program, entry into the school system and beyond. The TEDI program allows for the setting of meaningful goals for children with severe disabilities across the domains of cognitive learning, communication and motor skills, and achieving them through a blend of therapy and learning activities.
Therapeutic Education: Direction and Intervention: TEDI, Volume 2: Activity Kits for the Child with Special Needs: contains The Communication Kit, The Gross Motor Adapted Positioning Kit with specific activities developed for the child with special needs.
The Communication Kit: Curriculum Goal: To progress from receptive to spontaneous expressive “speech” or communication, using the most efficient access mode to communication that is possible to achieve.
Gross Motor and Adaptive Positioning Kit: Curriculum Goals: To develop body awareness, strength, control, and endurance. To develop and maintain range of motion while engaging in a cognitive and communication development curriculum.
Therapeutic Education: Direction and Intervention TEDI is a six volume program based on classroom learning experiences combined with therapeutic intervention: physical, occupational, speech-language and cognitive therapy.
Therapeutic Education: Direction and Intervention TEDI –with Activities for the Child with Special Needs Vols. 1-6 is written for the young children who have suffered either a traumatic injury to the brain that has derailed them from their normal learning and developmental track, or for the child that has been born with or acquired developmental, cognitive learning and potentially disabling conditions.
Task analysis allows us to analyze each desired end use – what skills are necessary for this to happen? How could we isolate and progressively build those skills that might make this possible?
The authors have performed task analysis on a wide variety of tasks and functions and have developed activities that can progressively develop the needed skills. The activities in these and all the kits in the TEDI Volumes use engaging age appropriate activities to provide a cognitive learning program and develop progressive skills across domains (Learning Behavior/Cognitive, Communication and Motor).
