Children with autism spectrum disorders usually face enormous difficulties figuring out what to say in diverse social situations.  When we are helping such children  in counseling, speech sessions and in the classroom, we need to provide them with engaging activities to explore what other people are up to, what other people are thinking, and how to begin conversations based on other people’s interests and circumstances.

Over a period of years I put together a 100 diverse photos that work well for conversation practice.  Children really love looking at the pictures and trying to think of something to say.

I put a lot of interesting animated features into this… anything to keep kids engaged in work that is very challenging for them.
