Use these books to :

  • Engage your autistic child.
  • Teach new vocabulary.
  • Build listening skills.

  • Encourage pretend play and development of your child’s imagination.

I have put together this list of board books based on my own experiences using these books in my learning center for children with autism in Paris, Le Chemin ABA.
