Full Description

This teacher resource is filled with worksheets, tasks and activities focused on developing the social skills of children on the autistic spectrum aged 8-12. It has been created to be used alongside the story Finding Kite: A Social Skills Adventure Story, although activities can stand alone as a programme of intervention.

Each task encourages young people to think about their own experiences, challenges and goals, building self-esteem and confidence along the way. Suitable for use in small groupsor 1:1, the worksheets are flexible in design, allowing the facilitator to respond to the needs of each child.

Key features of this resource include:

• engaging activities divided into sections focused on 'making sense of my world' and 'connecting with others';

• photocopiable and downloadable worksheets, filled with opportunities for reflection and discussion;

• the option to use it alongside the engaging, choose your own adventure story, Finding Kite, which immerses the reader in a sensory adventure.

Designed for students aged 8-12, this resource provides an invaluable opportunity to build an understanding of the complexities of social dynamics. Although created with girls on the autistic spectrum in mind, it can be used with students of different genders and adapted for their needs.
