In this material, parents and educators will find tools to work on reading comprehension and teach social and emotional skills to autistic children and youth. Through stories like “Nico’s Words: Thinking Before Speaking,” key topics are addressed, such as the importance of reflecting before speaking, expressing what one truly thinks, and engaging in conversations more consciously. Additionally, questions are included to encourage story comprehension, along with role-playing games designed to practice what has been learned in everyday situations at school, home, and with friends, helping children feel more comfortable and confident when communicating.
