Often parents and teachers of a child within the autism spectrum have difficulty involving him or her in activities with others. Many children will prefer to stay in solitude as they line up their cars in a row or play with their dinosaurs in their favorite hidden corner. Our activities will focus on improving social interaction and communication skills. Individual activities may also focus on motor skills and sequencing both of which can be difficult for a child in the autism spectrum. While written from a family perspective, most of these activities can be used effectively in a classroom or other group setting. Modify them as needed and remember to have fun!
