Language Game

The Autism word game is being created to help Kat comprehend language and communication. We hope your kids can benefit as well. Please send us your feedback.

Conversation Mapping

In 2007, I was discussing with Kat's aide how she has learned to ask questions but did not always listen to the response. I thought of creating a conversation map for Kat sort of like a flow chart to help her visually learn the flow of conversation.
