Description: This deck of 32 cards has been thoughtfully designed to provide an engaging and effective way for students with mild to moderate autism to improve their functional level when working with figurative language. By presenting students with the task of selecting from multiple answers and determining whether a given example is a simile or metaphor, this deck actively encourages critical thinking and problem solving skills. Furthermore, the completion of a comparison, such as “as flat as___” promt students to think creatively and make connections between words and their meanings. As students become more familiar with figurative language, they are encouraged to see themselves as detectives, using their newfound understanding to decipher the true meaning behind words and phrases. Overall, this deck of cards is a valuable tool for enhancing students’ comprehension and use of figurative language while also promoting important cognitive skills.
