Caring for Myself: A Social Skills Storybook by Christy Gast
   
Today’s review is not a toy review but a special book review to bring to light a book which will be helpful for both children and parents of children with Autism. "Caring For Myself: A Social Skills Storybook" by Christy Gast is a book written specifically to explain the "simple" routines that we as adults go through on a day to day basis, while these routines are exactly that, routine, to us, they are often times extremely challenging as well as fear instilling for children who have autism. This wonderful book brings to the forefront the detailed routines which are a mandatory part of taking care of yourself in a way that is both non-threatening and easy to understand.

Each step of each task is broken down in this book with both pictures and with detailed explanation. This book makes simple the tasks which may challenge children with autism by presenting a visual depiction as well as offering a personalized "caring for myself" section of the book. The book also has a special section for parents and teachers at the end of the stories which offer practical advice and ideas for helping to integrate the preceding story in to their child’s life.

You can find "Caring For Myself: A Social Skills Storybook" by Christy Gast over at Amazon.com or you can special order it from your local big name bookstore for free in store delivery!
