A dynamic teaching tool for children with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, The Social Skills Picture Book offers pictures of the right and wrong ways to handle nearly 30 social skills, such as conversation, play, emotion, management, and empathy. Includes visual teaching tool "Social Skills Picture Book CD" to be used alongside of the book.
