Description
Theory of Mind (ToM) impairment has been identified as a core, cognitive feature of autism. That is, children with autism report exactly what they see and know but miss what someone else might think, know, or believe (Baron-Cohen et al., 1985). The activities in this book will dramatically improve your students’ ability to infer and predict behavior, take another person’s perspective, and understand his intentions in step-by-step lessons. Childhood is flush with stories and games that develop ToM. Practical Theory of Mind Games weave these stories and games into every lesson. The lessons are organized in a developmentally progressive order to teach understanding of informational and emotional states. With your expertise, students with social language/autism disorders will develop ToM skills alongside their peers.
