The Sign n’ Say program is designed to change as the student changes. By the third grade most students with apraxia are ready to move from the Montessori teaching model to the more traditional academic model, where the students sit at desks and rotate out of the classroom for some subjects. However, the Sign n’ Say adaptations in curriculum and teaching methods are still used to create a place where the student with apraxia can succeed.
Communication in the classroom is both in sign language and voice, removing the barrier to learning, which a lack of speech can create.
Class size is small, allowing individualized learning at the student’s pace.
Technology is used to compensate for the motor delays that often accompany apraxia.
Computers allow those with handwriting difficulty to express themselves and answer questions on a worksheet.
Large projection computer touch screens in the classrooms allows students to work in front of the class or in teams.
Speech therapy is provided both individually and in the classroom as part of the curriculum.
Rotations to other classrooms for art, computer, science, green house, physical education, yoga, and religion provide different ways to learn and help create a well-rounded student.
The students in this part of the program also start to integrate more with the deaf population of St. Rita School. This allows apraxic students to both sharpen their signing skills, and to interact socially with other children their age in a way that might be impossible in the general population.
