The worksheets in this program have been designed to help your child understand negative statements and the concept of exclusion. By working through this program, you will help your child understand that the presence of a negative in a statement generally means that the opposite is true (e.g. “The sky isn’t blue.”).

Each page has three components. If your child becomes distracted easily, you should cover two thirds of the page to maintain his focus on the targeted item. Statements and instructions which target exclusion will require your child to overcome the urge to respond to a key word or salient perceptual material. Commonly used negatives are: “not, can’t, don’t, won’t, isn’t, hasn’t, doesn’t”.

An additional benefit from working through these activities, is the chance to increase your child’s vocabulary. To achieve this, it is important for you to encourage your child to describe or name each picture. If your child does recognise a picture but does not know a word, you should point to the picture and say the word for him whilst encouraging him to copy what you say.
