This is a book of real-world, functional school vocabulary to use with special education students such as those with autism, speech-language needs, early childhood special education, mentally impaired, and those requiring assistive technology and adapted material. Students will learn and generalize vocabulary from photographs to stories. Social stories.
Stories are 9-12 pages in length.
Teachers may choose to print two copies of the book in order to create a matching activity (laminate books and cut out photos in second book, attach Velcro. Students can add pictures as you read.)
Spanish version is available.
MORE BOOKS TO COME!! PLEASE CHECK BACK!
(and please send any comments or suggestions)
Thanks!

A great idea. How about one on food? And do you have any in Spanish?

Thanks for asking about Spanish. I plan on getting all the books translated into Spanish next. It would make a great resource to send home to families so the kids can work on their objectives at home in their native language. Thank you also for the suggestion to do one on food. I will put that on my list. I will let you know when it's done.

Thank you! This book is great! I'm a speech pathologist and it is perfect for my developmentally cognitively delayed kids as well as my kids with autism. Looking forward to others if you have them!
