I’ve read many posts about IM helping sequencing issues. It sounds like a great therapy, but it is out of the budget for many families. What other remediation techniques have parents used to help with sequencing issues?
Audiblox has exercises
that address sequencing issues. Website is http://www.audiblox2000.com. A complete kit (book, video, starter kit of manipulatives) runs about $100. This program requires one-on-one work with an adult, minimum of 1/2-hour five times a week.

Re: Sequencing Issues - Thanks
Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. I’ll start making sure I use more sequencing language in conversations as well as looking into Audiblox for the summer.
Concepts and Directions is taught through a series of events or commands that can increase in complexity from one, two and three level commands. Sequencing terms such as beginning, middle, last, first, second and third can be taught in stories or events.
Temporal terms such as then, before, after, next, same time, while, are all sequencing terms that can be used when giving directions for a child to do things…i.e., Before we put the milk in the bowl we put the cereal in it. While you get the door I will get the phone. Games like Simon Says, Making meals, doing science experiments are naturalistic activities that can teach sequencing.
Conditional terms are unless and if i.e., If I point to the circle you point to he little triangle.
Location: Next to, between, farthest, closest, nearest, right, left separated. i.e., Can you get the pencil next to the notebook?
Coordination: and, and/but, not/or, Get the pen but not the pencil.
Inclusion: all, but non, all except, either/or, neither/nor, and/but, not/or, all but one. i.e, I want all the purple m and m’s but not the red or green ones..
Hope this helps…
