Target the language skills that students with language disorders struggle with, particularly in the classroom: question comprehension, social language, concepts, and more.

Written in the best-selling format of the HELP series, these lessons have:

goal-driven activities
high quality, timeless content
gradual increase in complexity within and between activities
application to a wide range of developmental and acquired disorders
Help Elementary combines the best of the original Help 1-5 series. New stimulus items are combined with the most requested lessons from the original volumes. The result is a resource that addresses language needs of elementary-age students.

Question Comprehension Answer can, do/does, if, some/all, and true/false questions. Question response requirements are kept simple to accommodate students with deficits in verbal expression.
Association Develop association skills through if/then statements, situational associations, similarities and differences, action/agent associations, definitions, and analogies.
Specific Word Finding Complete tasks in phrase completion with verbs, nouns, conjunctions, and verb phrases.
Grammar Activities cover subjective, possessive, and objective pronouns; comparatives/superlatives; regular and irregular plurals; noun-verb agreement; and regular and irregular past tense verbs.
Concepts Learn location concepts, spatial and temporal relationships, functions and attributes, and comparison concepts.
Social Language Improve conversation skills, recognize appropriate responses, and express cause and effect.
Defining and Describing Define words by function, event, attribute, and class; describe by function and attributes; and identify similarities and differences.
Written Language Activities begin with sentence completion based on picture and contextual cues and progress to sentence expansion and combing sentences. Students advance to completing paragraphs and sequencing sentences to form paragraphs.
Processing Information Lessons include sequencing instructions and information, directional concepts, irrelevant information, the use of reference materials, and writing messages.
Self-Expression Students practice identifying, interpreting, and expressing needs, opinions, and feelings.
