Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com presents a WH-questions book for autistic children that mixes who, what, where, and when prompts across four topics: restaurant, hospital, school, and babies. Instead of separate books for each question type, this one resource teaches kids to discriminate between similar answers and attend to what each question actually asks.
Hi, this is Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com, and this is a product preview of Who, What, Where, and When Mix-Up, an adapted book for children with autism. So I love adapted wor— adapted books to work on WH questions, and I have one for each of the WH questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how. I decided to make one book that would work on several WH questions and discrimination. I think discrimination is really important to teach directly because some of our kids will be able to learn things easily in isolation, but then once you mix it up with another skill, it'll be more difficult. So this book combines these questions in a really cool way. So first up, there's directions for setup and a label for the baggie, which is very important. And then here's all the pieces. So for each topic, such as restaurant, there'll be a who, what, where, and when question on each topic. So for example, say a chef uses this to cook. You can put it on the stove to get food hot. What is it? Then there's a where question, a who question, and a when question. So students can't just be directly matching similar items like restaurant to chef or food pot to pancakes. They really need to be responding to exactly what the question is. So this continues for 4 different topics. So there's one on the hospital, again with each with the 4 different questions. School and babies. So I really liked the idea of including similar topics so that kids really aren't just kind of non-identity matching, but they are responding to actually what the question is looking for. So they can't just, whenever they see the baby question, put crib or baby, they need to respond exactly what information they're trying to get. So this is a really great way to teach discrimination in a structured way. So this was a product preview of Who, What, Where, and When Mix-Up Adapted Book by TheAutismHelper.com.
