At Method VICON we find many profiles of children and, of course, many with restricted interests, such as not liking the Method videos, and who have great difficulties when facing novelty.

That's when the team behind the Method has its first challenge, because don't forget one thing... what you like so much today was also new one day!! To adapt the child to the program and the videos we need 4 essential points:

• Adapt to the Child : we need to measure their times, their "volume", their ideal spaces... to, little by little, introduce the videos. There are several possible moments: the bath, free play, the car, before going to sleep... we have to find the balance that makes our little one adapt smoothly and pleasantly.
• Never force it: there are children who immediately, even after an unequivocal sign of rejection, adapt to the method but others, on the other hand, require more structure, less and more spaced exposure, first the music and then the video. If the child perceives that the video is an obligation, we will have lost a resource to take him towards language.
• Consistency and intuition of the family, the role of the family is essential and directly influences the child's adaptation, take into account siblings yes or siblings, it must be valued that the method is for the child and any distraction can be an obstacle to correct stimulation, on the contrary, many siblings are those who facilitate adaptation to the method as direct and central models. The family is the ideal one to implement it because of its great global knowledge of the child.
• Relying on our therapists, not only do we have family but we generally have a network of professionals around us who can help us successfully adapt to the method. In addition, the VICON Method assigns a Guide Therapist to help the family at all times with guidance and support and will accompany the entire stimulation process. Always ask for help if you need it.

During the test phase we must see signs of an active reaction to stimulation in the child to be able to consider him or her as a candidate for stimulation, effects in terms of attention, communicative intention, more eye contact, better response to interactions... more tranquility and joy.

VICON Method is a pioneering program in online, professional, proven and effective for children without language and with global difficulties in their development. We are waiting for you in this testing phase!!!!
