Head Outline PowerPoint Picture Activity to Learn about Peer Interests

Slide1Quick and easy method to help children with  autism to learn interests of other people

Children with autism spectrum disorders, or children whose knowledge of peers is affected by isolation, anxiety or intellectual disability, benefit from colorful and concrete learning materials when we are helping them learn about other people.  Whether you are working with one child or a whole room full of kids, you really should try this social skills learning activity.  It is quick to set up. I give you PowerPoint templates and you just copy and paste images onto them, add some text, and you are ready to go.  This social skills activity is screen-based, and many children seem to never get tired of looking at screens.   There are options to print out drawing worksheets as well.

“Buffering” Metaphor – Free Illustrated PowerPoint to help children with autism to understand interrupting

Buffering PowerPoint main image

Children with autism and the problem of interrupting

Children with autism spectrum disorder often struggle to understand how to interrupt other people in a tactful manner. Children with ASD’s may have strong interests they feel compelled to share.  They may find it very hard to interpret the social cues that indicate that another person might be occupied, preoccupied, or social engaged with another person.

Children on the autism spectrum do often have a good grasp of how computers work.  When we are helping children to develop insight and social skills associated with interrupting, it is really helpful to use a certain computer-based metaphor – buffering.

Download the free PowerPoint on Buffering and Interrupting by clicking on the red link right here. It’s a large file – give it a moment to download.
