Steps to Stories: A Unique Program to Build Story Comprehension in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders - Personal Use License

By Laura Berlin and Marion Blank

Story comprehension! For children with autism spectrum disorders, achievement of this skill is one of the most cherished dreams. Yet, it is a dream that seems to remain out of reach. Even when the children are able to speak or read with a fair degree of skill, comprehension seems to elude them.The loss is significant and goes far beyond what we usually think of as story comprehension. The ability to understand stories is central to the recounting of events such as talking about what happened during the day, or over the weekend, what is happening now and what is happening to others. Conversations of this type call upon the same skills as story comprehension. Consequently, story comprehension represents an overarching skill with major benefits for verbal communication.Steps to Stories is designed to give children-regardless of whether or not they can read-access to this critical ability. Using advances in linguistic and cognitive research, it offers parents and professionals a program that will start children on the path to story comprehension.Purchase includes license for personal use (one child) only. For multiple children, please purchase multiple licenses (contact us for volume discounts).
