From the author of Autism on a Shoestring Budget, [Early] Intervention Made Easier...
In this book for autistic children, Logan runs to a busy street and nearly has an accident! Once safely back inside, his grandma talks about the meaning of danger and teaches him ten important danger rules. Children with autism often lack a sense of danger, and it can be difficult to teach them safety rules. Her grandson was no exception. "Danger Is...?" struck a chord with him, and after reading the story with him repeatedly, he started referring to it often. The author also created a Danger Rules key ring for him. Visually and verbally reviewing the Danger Rules on his key ring regularly, and especially before going out, reinforced safety even more and helped keep him safe. She hopes this book can contribute to keeping other children with autism safe also. Danger Is...? is book #2 in the Autism Is...? Books Series:Book #1: Autism Is...?
Book #3: School Rules Are...?
Book #4: Feelings Are...?
Book #5: Manners Are...?
Book #6: Friends Are...?
