Thanks, kerryn, for your advice and your words of support. I am using the ABA principles, which, as I am aware, are science-based and well-proven in their effectiveness. However, I am also open to, perhaps, less researched (at this stage?) techniques, as long as I am confident they will not do any harm to my daughter.
I did try an episode of baby bumblebee with her. She liked it the first time she saw it, however, when I tried showing it to her for the next few times she was visible bored and did not focus at all. I have put it down to its very slow pace. Interestingly, the principle used in these DVD's, which are primarily for autistic kids, is very similar to the principle used in early education DVD's teaching reading. Basically, you first see an image of the word, hear it and then see a visual illustration. I am hoping she will respond to right-brain techniques with the help of some other right-brain resources.
