Abstract

The present study focused on the implementation of the PLAI Program in a boy with Sotos syndrome, aged 10 years. The aim was to describe the results regarding the communication skills of the child after the pilot implementation of the specific Curriculum. Video observation and analysis were used to assess the child's communication skills, both before and after the implementation of the program. The PLAI program, which was implemented for about 4 months, focused on improving the child's communication skills, included similar activities and was based mainly on the strategy of routine and sensory cues. The results from the implementation of the individualized educational program were quite satisfactory, as a significant improvement in the communication skills of the specific child was found. The contribution of the Curriculum "Promoting Learning Through Active Interaction" is very important for the education of students with severe-multiple disabilities.
