MagneTalk Turns and Topics

Book excerpt: Teach basic game play and improve language development with MagneTalk Turns & Topics. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) enjoy playing games, but often ¿regular¿ game boards are too overwhelming and confusing. The simple game boards and basic Topic Cards in MagneTalk Turns & Topics are specifically for children with ASDs. The targeted games allow students to have fun and increase their concentration skills gradually while they learn basic game playing and communication skills. The four Turns & Topics magnetic boards increase in difficulty to allow each child to improve skills at his/her own pace. The 166 Topic Cards improve basic language skills by covering eight important areas of communication: Feelings, Numbers, Letters, Basic Concepts, Seasons & Weather, ¿WH¿ Questions, Nouns, and Verbs. The white backgrounds on the boards and cards limit distractions, while the Giant Magnetic Pawns are good for children with limited fine-motor skills.
