Practical Strategies for Educating Young Children with Autism Spectrum and Other Developmental Disabilities in the Public School Setting.

Comic Strip Conversations
Illustrated Interactions That Teach Conversation Skills To Students With Autism And Related Disorders Carol Gray combines stick-figures with conversation symbols to illustrate what people say and think during conversations. Showing what people are thinking reinforces that others have independent thoughts- -a concept spectrum children don't intuitively understand. Children can also recognize that although people say one thing, they may think something quite different --another concept foreign to "concrete-thinking" children. Children can draw their own "comic strips" to show what they are thinking and feeling about events or people. Different colors can represent different states of mind.
