This set of play companions will help you to teach your students to engage in play in a natural and fun atmosphere. 

Many of our students benefit from visuals, so why not use visuals to teach play skills?!?  That’s the idea behind this visual companion set. 

An adult models the play task by using a visual support that is carefully disguised as part of the play  (Doctor’s notes, Parent’s To-Do List, etc). 

When it’s the student’s turn they have the same visual support available to them.  They simply check off the tasks as they go!

Visual supports mean less prompting and more INDEPENDENCE!  Oh, and the visual supports are also paired with core vocabulary phrases appropriate for each play task.  Let’s get them talking!  Let’s get them playing!

We can all agree that teaching play skills is SOOO important.  But why does it have to be so hard?  Well . . . NOW IT DOESN’T have to be!!!
