Halfords Advanced Carnuba Review

No. 6: The Doman method vehicular language for Autistic and Down Syndrome. POST

At the end of the decade of the 90's, when I was teaching as a form teacher of Early Childhood Education and filed with other partners l Constructivist Approach Emilia Ferreiro and Ana Teberosky (1997).
What is constructivism?:
"Building ctivismo is not a method of teaching literacy, but a theory of knowledge. They are research on how we learn to read and write. It seems that we learn in functional and meaningful contexts, that there are stages of literacy development that are always given, it seems that emotionally is very important, and so on.
What we do is take into account these assumptions and adjust constructivist our literacy activities to it. But all the activities performed are important. There is time for writing functional and there are other times to raise awareness of letters, on vocals, on the upper or lower case forms on the syllables, etc. Are necessary, sometimes, many activities we have always done in children to raise awareness of the writing itself, which is based on texts is essential and significant functional literacy and daily use for everyday activities: lists, notes home, stories , songs, sign up for doing something active, put the name in the papers, etc.
With a global approach, in most writing activities, but here we highlight some specific literacy activities that can be useful to reflect on the system of literacy. .
After several years of teaching in Spain and Cartagena in the region of the implatanciĆ³n of that method, other teaching staff are committed to the Doman method, which especially started for Autistic and Down Syndrome.


What is the Doman method?.

"The theories that underpin their teaching are:

- All conditions, including Down syndrome or autism, carry a brain injury, as occurs in cerebral palsy.

- Children with brain injuries should not be classified by its severity, but by its potential development.

- learning and maturation of children comes as a result of spontaneous experimentation a number of schemes. Its repetition makes eventually consolidate these patterns of movement and action. Children who do not experience this in a spontaneous way should be guided and exposed to the same stimuli to develop properly.

Your intervention methodology is based on maximizing the potential of the individual, be essential when you start early, because later you will not get many goals.

parents become "professional parents" because it is they who must implement, professional mentoring, the method to his son. This method requires the repetition of the various activities several times a day, which translates into hours of daily intervention. It is also very strict about compliance with these routines. Therefore, the parent who decides to apply the method, you must engage seriously with him.

On the engine, uses what he calls the basic movement patterns:

Cross Pattern limb
°
homolateral pattern
°
°
Relaxation
°
exercises drag and crawling
°
brachiation exercises and running

addition to the area motor has its own methods of teaching reading (global), calculus, and other areas. Thus, almost all learning are developed by the method of the bits of intelligence (as in computers or computers, intelligence bit is the maximum amount of information that can be processed simultaneously in a second). The words, numbers, animals blades ... children are taught in groups of 10, several times a day (3 or 4 times) and each picture is displayed for one second. The child ends up recognizing the film, either a picture, a word, a picture or a set of points. "

This method is presented as opposed to the constructivist approach to learning teaching of written language, has detractors as

"Thus, the Doman method was rejected by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1968, 1982 and 1999, mainly for 3 reasons:

1 .- His theory of the nervous system seems very simple and not supported by scientific studies.

2 .- No serious studies have been published on the results and reached the merits, but their guarantees are based solely on the testimony parents.

3 .- required enormous dedication of parents, both in terms of time and money. ".

However, this method is taking place in the Community of Murcia, in the Northwest as a method of teaching the written language Child Education and children with Down Syndrome and Autism.
