Real photo dog flashcards

You may have noticed that most of the autism activities and resources you find online use line drawings and images that look like cartoons. There is nothing wrong with these materials, however, they can be quite abstract, making it difficult for autistic learners to understand them.

I create most of my learning materials using real photos because they capture attention more easily and they are easier to understand. I think they are just prettier too, which is definitely a bonus!
