Summary: "This easy-to-use resource provides fun, practical picture scripts to help motivate and extend communication and play skills in children on the autism spectrum. Demonstrates how picture scripts can facilitate play, communication and learning and provides 40 photocopiable scripts across different activities such as drawing, cooking, using construction toys, pretend play, arts and crafts and life skills. Tasks are illustrated in manageable step-by-step sequences and support the development of the child's independence as well as other skills including following instructions and choice-making. The CD-ROM that accompanies the book allows readers to print copies of the scripts in colour for use at home, in the classroom or in therapy settings." - BOOK JACKET This wonderful book will be of use to so many people in a range of settings and situations. My only gripe with it is the title as it would be a shame to limit the use of this book to just children or to people on the autism spectrum. This practical and well set out book will appeal to families, teachers and community workers who want to teach everyday tasks such as bed making, hand washing and teeth cleaning or who want simple ideas for art and craft or cooking. The library team is certainly having fun learning to draw trains, dinosaurs and monsters! We might even try out the yummy fruit and marshmallow salad.
