This work material, titled “Daniel and his Goal to Learn to Socialize,” is designed to help autistic children and young people develop their reading comprehension and conversation skills. In it, readers will follow the story of Daniel, an introverted young man with autism who actively decides to work on his ability to socialize. Throughout the story, users will be challenged to answer questions that foster reading comprehension, such as understanding Daniel’s motivations and emotions, and identifying key events in his journey.

Additionally, this material will provide opportunities to practice conversation skills by recreating Daniel’s interactions with others in the story. Readers will be invited to complete the conversations in drawings of the story, allowing them to explore various responses and reactions in different social contexts. This hands-on approach will not only strengthen their understanding of social norms and communication expectations but will also help build confidence in their own abilities to interact with others.
