This material is designed to help parents and educators work on reading comprehension and teach social skills to autistic children. Through Mateo’s story, children can identify and reflect on their own experiences with greetings while developing strategies that allow them to feel comfortable and confident in everyday social situations. Additionally, it includes comprehension questions to reinforce the reading and examples of role-playing games that facilitate the practice of learned social skills, adapted to different contexts such as school, birthday parties, and meeting someone new.
