Summary:
An interactive workbook with activities designed for children with autism spectrum and related disorders to learn how to make and keep friends.
Making friends and getting along with others is a big part of a child's life. But for children with autism spectrum disorders, making and keeping friends doesn't come easy. They need to be intentionally taught a range of strategies directed at broadening their social understanding skills and competencies. This interactive workbook is aimed at children ages 7-11, a period when friendships are increasingly important and a lack of friendship skills is all the more obvious and challenging. Friendly Facts explores five themes: What Is a Friend?, Being a Friend, Making Friends, Real Friends, and Staying Friends. Through fun activities that appeal to today's youth, children explore and put to a real-life test the major tenets of making and keeping friends. As such, this book prepares them for successfully participating in human interactions for the rest of their lives. Author Josie Santomauro's son,Damian was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome at the age of five. He is now a PhD candidate and researcher in the field of autism. Josie's books include Friendly Facts, Asperger Download, and Space Travelers. She lives in Brisbane, Australia,
