Help me understand the world and what is going to happen next by using sound symbols
Use sounds consistently to signal other things, or to reinforce their identity:
- Have different windchimes in the doorways of important rooms in school, and make sure they sound as I go in
- Give key people in my life at school different jangly bracelets to wear to enhance their identity
- Give me and my classmates distinct ‘personal soundmakers’, and use them at times of greeting and other social activities
- Help me anticipate activities by using sound symbols, such as a jingly bell for music, a clanky chain for the swing
- Make a ‘sound diary’ of activities that happened during a morning or afternoon, so I can re-live the experiences
- Remember, it’s important that all those working with me use the same sound symbols consistently
