Question

What are some good resources to help autistic kids learn socialization skills?

Answer 1

Social Stories books are good-

you could write your own-

look in barnes and nobles or borders-they have teh books there-to give you an idea of how to write one

basically

Child wants to play

Child says "Friend, lets play ball"

problem arises-describe how to handle in story form-look for free clip art-draw simple graphics-or even take photos of child in simulated situations...

Answer 2

Your local regional center should be able to hook you up with a social facilitator in your area.

Answer 4

If your child is aged 0-6yrs, Gymboree is an excellent program. They focus on the full development of the child - social, physical, and emotional.

Gymboree of Houston, TX has classes for children with Autism and their families.

Good luck!
