“Richard and the Adventure of Conversations” is an educational resource designed for autistic children and youth, aimed at improving their reading comprehension and life skills. Through the story of Richard, a boy who learns to communicate effectively with his peers, readers can explore and practice the dynamics of starting, maintaining, and concluding conversations. This material includes comprehension question exercises, interactive drawings to complete dialogues, and role-playing games specifically designed to solidify the learning of essential social skills.

Each component is carefully crafted to facilitate practice in real contexts, such as school or the park, where children can simulate conversations about common interests and learn to respond to others’ emotions. These activities not only teach about conversation but also promote empathy and patience, crucial skills for any social interaction. Additionally, moments of reflection are provided so that educators and parents can help children assess and understand their progress, as well as identify areas for improvement, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience tailored to the individual needs of each child.
