Often the ‘ticks’ don’t correspond with the person anyway!!!!
• successful interaction often depends on– familiarity, – observation,– inferences
• made about the learner’s – ‘pre or proto-symbolic utterances’– ‘bodily movements’,– ‘changes in muscle tone’ – other subtle cues

subtly invite practitioners to assume that learning is occurring ….
because they can see the performance of communication

of assuming
we can teach communication by instruction

Links between role perceptions of professionals and styles of interaction
• Staff in ID contexts• 2 main camps;• providers who engage in predominantly
instrumental relationships based on meeting needs • meaning makers who consider their role is to
understand their client’s moods and gestures and to try to create meaning within a relationship with them.

providers ; predominantly instrumental relationships based on meeting needs
• The majority of communication interventions by professionals with learners at very early stages of communication, are focussed on providing the learner with the means to express needs and wants and by inference, requests.

learners who already demonstrate symbol use is a logical and well established practice

pre-symbolic and pre-intentional communicators is highly questionable.

• Learners’ actions will indicate their readiness for symbols to be introduced
including:•alternating gaze between a goal and listener,•persistence in signalling until the goal is reached,•changing the quality of the signal until the goal is met,•using a signal that is ritualised or has a conventional form within a specific context,•awaiting a response from the receiver,•terminating the signal when the goal is achieved, and•indicating satisfaction if the goal is met or dissatisfaction if it is not metIacono, Carter, and Hook (1998) ;Wetherby and Prizant (1989) Harding [1984],

Alternating glance [eg eyepoint]
….is a relatively simple task for a learner, involving glances between two venues - ie the target item and the ‘listener’
…but when we insert a symbol or pictograph into the situation
• We add an additional venue, which requires the learner to coordinate a triple focus of attention....
