By Dale E. Seiden and Donna Geffner

The Navi-Gator method is an arts-based, picture-mapping technique that is so easy and quick, it's like throwing a switch

Navi-Gator is an interactive book to help parents communicate with and manage behaviors of their children. The Program uses hand drawn pictures to tell stories to help effect educational and behavioral change. This method is basically used for two purposes: one is to teach a life skill or lesson (do not steal, no biting, how to share, etc.) and the other is to present a personal agenda (what does our afternoon look like, what will happen at the birthday party, what is camp, etc.).

In all cases, it is designed to help you communicate better with your child through Picture-Mapping.

If you use the Picture-Mapping technique provided in our series, your child will gain increased visual memory and working memory skills. Visual and sensory participation helps to synthesize communication between the two of you You will have included your child in a sharing and learning activity. The idea behind the Navi-Gator technique is that you and your child will have a multi-modal communication that works Our little Navi-Gator will help the child on a lesson or activity journey as if he/she is using a Global Navigation System.
