Need help with bedtime routines and sleep?
Not sure which gestalts to model when it comes to bedtime?
Well, remember, hyperlexic learners thrive on routine, benefit from writing things down, and are gestalt language processors who use a lot of echolalia to communicate.
So, these bedtime communication boards are a great way to help hyperlexic learners and gestalt language processors get ready for sleep time, build a routine, and develop language skills, while also playing to their strengths in decoding/reading.
Let's take a closer look at these communication boards!
