Autism spectrum disorders have as a chief characteristic an impairment of the capacity to interact socially with others. Keeping that in mind, what better practice than role play? This text is
bound to enrich the repertoire of anyone working with autistic individuals by providing insight, examples, strategies, and supports both for autistic individuals and also for their teachers,
families and friends. There are tested and secure role play activities and the additional help of an audio CD that simulates the demands of daily living such as taking 'phone messages, going to
the supermarket, stranger safety, going to the doctor, cafeteria customs and other out in the world dilemmas. An appealing layout, photocopiable resources, and worksheets that accompany every
exercise make this a pleasing design to work with. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
