Quick and easy method to help children with high functioning 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.
