VODcast: Literal Words
Sometimes our friends with autism cannot connect with abstract ideas because they are such literal thinkers. We can adapt the text of books, stating concepts in concrete terms so people with autism can connect and enjoy. Listen to the adapted lyrics of Grateful: A Song of Giving Thanks by John Bucchino, a book with incredible illustrations by Anna-Liisa Hakkarainen. 2003, Harper Collins Publishers.
