[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 394908, member: 1991"] Some mind map links: [url]http://www.mymindmap.net/[/url] [url]http://www.edrawsoft.com/MindMap-Examples.php[/url] I think I like the second link better, although the first one explains it better. My main 'thing' when explaining it to people who have never done it before, is to make it clear - YOU are in control, YOU decide where to draw connections and where not to. So when a template has connections and boxes, you don't always have to put something there, or have it connected. Sometimes the connections go in different places to where the template indicates. What is right, is what YOU decide. That's the beauty of it especially for a difficult child - control. YOUR mind is in control and you are controlling your own mind and making order out of its chaos. The order is on the piece of paper, the mind is still chaotic, but you've captured a quick snapshot of this word, or that concept, and written it down before you lost it. Then you connect your words or concepts, as you feel is right. This is a technique for anyone. Not just for SpEd. In fact, it was originally developed for gifted & talented kids as extension. difficult child 1 was taught it in an extension class. I use it a lot myself and have taught it to others in writing workshops. I even do it as a group exercise sometimes. And it was difficult child 1 (of all people, given his problems) who taught me how to do it, when he was 10 years old! Marg [/QUOTE]
