The Spatial Awareness Skills Program (SASP) assesses and teaches the fundamental analysis and organization abilities that enable children to make sense out of arithmetic and, more generally, to address written work and multistep listening and reading comprehension tasks in an efficient, step-by-step fashion. SASP is an updated, expanded version of the visual skills component (Blue Book) of PREP. PREP focused on analysis skills; SASP focuses on analysis and organization skills. SASP is intended for use by occupational therapists, developmental optometrists, and teachers who work with prekindergarten through elementary school–age children with LD, ADD, or dyslexia, individually or in groups. SASP consists of two components: the Test, which enables you to identify and determine the performance (instructional) level of those children who lack adequate spatial awareness skills, and the Curriculum, which provides methods for training those skills. The curriculum is divided into two major sections: activities to improve spatial analysis and organizational skills, and activities to teach the words (verbal organizers) that support this process. Many of the activities are accompanied by worksheets that may be given to parents for supplemental use at home.
