Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A comic strip conversation is a conversation between two or more people that incorporates the use of simple drawings. These drawings illustrate the dynamics of communication, providing support to individuals who struggle with the quick exchange of information in a conversation. This book has become a staple for parents and professionals working with students with autism and other developmental disabilities. The visual supports provide not only concrete social cues, but also can improve students' understanding of the more abstract components of conversation. It's short and sweet, easy to implement, and fun to work with.

I expected this book to be more educational and informative. It really just gives you a couple templates and not that many ideas, you do the work on your own. You do not need this book to create your own comic strip.

As the teacher of a very difficult and often misunderstood student with Asperger Syndrome, I found the Comic Strip Conversations opened a door for my student and I to share our worlds. Our perspectives on situations were so different and caused SO much frustration; but we were able to "talk" about the discrepencies in our viewpoints in a very non-threatening way by utilizing the strategies in this book. It was just the beginning for us, but this book was a critical component to building a relationship with my student that has ultimately led to several extremely successful outcomes. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN AMAZING ADDITION TO ANY TEACHER'S LIBRARY!

This book may be good for some, however it is misleading in the description. I was led to beleive that this book was in fact comic book coversations to help explain simple situations to my child with Autism. Instead, you have to write your own comic strips to do the explaining. Not worth the book in my opinion if it is still up to me to do all the work, I already do that without this book.

This is a wonderful book that clearly explains what comic strip conversations are, how to write them, and why they are useful. Although the book is short, the concepts held within are a treasure for helping children learn social communication skills in a fun and non-aversive format. I have used this book to teach parents, aides, and 1:1's how to communicate desired behavior and to help the children express important ideas and needs.The writing and pictures are clear and concise. The use of these picture stories can sometimes help us understand what the child is trying to tell us through behaviors/actions that are hard to interpret.

In my opinion, this is probably most suited for the most severe cases, but the book is short and cheap.
