Long description

Pictography representational strategy is a language intervention approach that facilitates the patient’s ability to produce oral narratives that targets time sequences, increased length and quality of the story content. Method: SLP describes to patient “picture writing” or “stick writing” as a method for representing a story. The stick writing must have at least 3 scenes (beginning, middle, and end) or can have as many as 12 scenes to represent the story. Language goals can be targeted within the context of a temporal and visual event representation (Ukrainetz, 1998).
