Description: This deck is for your students on the autism spectrum who struggle with flexible thinking, perspective-taking, social self-regulation, pragmatics, social cognition, social inferencing, executive functioning as well as critical thinking skills. Their tendency to keep things the same stems from their willingness to stay in their comfort zone and not use their cognitive energy exploring other thoughts since it can be taxing on their unique sensory systems. It is critical that they are gently exposed to different scenarios so that their meta-cognitive skills can develop. This deck is an attempt to implicitly steer their minds to other possibilities without the stress of being in an actual situation where a physical response is required. The goal is to implant new ideas and responses in their minds and hopefully, when confronted with a similar scenario, they will remember other options (as explored in the deck) with the teacher's help. Good Luck!
