Point to Happy: A Book for Kids on the Autism Spectrum

Product Description

By Miriam Smith and Afton Fraser.
Combines a picture book and a pointer to create a breakthrough in reaching children who communicate best through pictures. As the teacher or parent reads, the child is prompted to point, turning reading into a joyful , shared experience. Dozens of friendly photographs are compelling to look at and easy to understand. The text is clear and direct. By pointing to the pictures in the book - moods, activities, everyday objects, the rituals of going to bed and getting ready in the morning - children will learn to convey their wants and needs, their experiences, and most importantly, their feelings. The simple action of using the included safety-tested, 100% nontoxic, and PVC- and phthalate-free pointer is an effective method for helping a child focus. 20 pages, 10" x 13". Hardcover.
