Teaching play, emotion, and communication to children with autism

This is an excellent tool for parents of young children and professionals who are teaching children to learn appropriate social skills.

Part One looks at the importance of visual supports in teaching children with autism. Part Two presents photos with dialogue bubbles, representing the “right way” and the “wrong way” of behaving in social settings. Situations include: Greetings; Listening; Interrupting; Starting and Maintaining a Conversation; Introducing Yourself; Asking to Play; Turn Taking; Sharing; Keeping Calm; Accepting No for an Answer; Dealing with Mistakes; Compromising; and Trying When it’s Hard, and more.
