My Approach

Learning, language, and behavior are interconnected. Conceptual learning is brain-based, and language represents concepts or thinking. Behavior represents the processing level of input, the conceptual level used in thinking, and the social level of language. As thinking raises, so does language as a tool for critical thinking, problem solving, and improved forms of literacy. Viconic Language Methods were developed over several decades in response to the needs of many children who experienced learning, language, and/or behavior problems. These VLMs align with how language is acquired, as described by the Neuro-Semantic Language Learning Theory (NsLLT). Many professionals have used the VLMs in their practices and have collected some powerful, positive data showing their effectiveness.
