The SAM guidebook provides strategies for developing a strong sensory foundation for concepts about people, objects, actions, and places so that symbols referring to them are meaningful.

People: The self and othersObjects: Tangible thingsActions: Body movements of the self and othersPlaces: Where things are, contexts for groups of things

Using SAM enables learners to understand:

What is it?
What does it do?
How does it relate to other things?

The18 SAM gamesare used to reinforce the meaning of symbols learned in natural environments and to expand the use of symbols to communication contexts, like books. In order to determine needs and plan instruction,SAM provides four assessments:

Symbol and referent analysis: Common words
Symbol and referent analysis: Academic vocabulary
Environmental gap inventory: Missing concepts in common environments
Curriculum-based gap inventory: Early academic skills and basic concepts

APH Intervention ContinuumAPH recommends that learners use the following three products sequentially:
