Résumé/Abstract:
This paper describes the intervention program, Moving with Language, which was developed at a large rural primary school on the outskirts of Darwin, Northern Territory in Australia. Moving with Language is a multidimensional approach to providing learning support for young students who have a range of disabilities. Specifically, this program targeted oral language and motor skill development within a strategy-training context. The program focused on motor planning, self-directed student talk and the use of pictographed instructions to support the development of independent learning and literacy skills.
