A terrific collection of games for parents and tutors of children on the autism spectrum, to have fun together and develop their child’s social skills through play.
Games included in this booklet will help to develop following skills:
• Supporting and maintaining naturally occurring eye contact – a communication signal necessary in everyday interactions (e.g., when giving or receiving an object) and in establishing relationships with others.
• Verbal and non-verbal communication – a crucial skill that could help your child communicate her needs spontaneously.
• Back-and-forth play – helps your child become more attentive by learning how to take turns, wait and respond to others.
• Body awareness – helps your child become comfortable in her own body and make physical contact.
• Imitating facial expressions – teaches your child that our faces express our emotions.
• Flexibility of behaviour – encourages your child to accept changes during play and be more flexible in her daily routines.
• Joint attention – helps your child understand that he can focus on an activity simultaneously with another person.
• Pretend play – develops your child’s imagination and prepares her for social roles.
• Adherence to rules – prepares your child for daily tasks and activities with his peers at home or school.
