Helpful Toys, Stories Book and etc

HopefulStudent

Hello Everyone,

I'm new here. So correct me if my way of posting is wrong. I'm a student volunteer at a local Special Needs Home in my local Malaysia. I'm currently on a holiday in UK and was wondering whether there are any special kinds of toys, stories book or any other resources I can use to help teach the students back on home on social skills, reading, writing and etc . I really hope for your kind input on this matter and am really hopeful in being able to bring back something helpful. The awareness regarding ASD and Asperger's are rather low back in Malaysia, therefore, resources for it are hard to find. Therefore, I hope to be able to use this oppurtunity to do something good for those at home.

Sincerely,
Idura

  • One of the things that has come up again and again recently is how much people with Aspergers/ASD love looking at nature and particularly the small details, sounds, light and movement. Now from my visit to Malaysia nature is something that you already have quite a lot of. Perhaps all you need is a pile of magnifying glasses, or some cheap cameras (with close focus) or a sound recorder. Back this up with some books on local wildlife and you could have an interest that can be slowly developed and also customised to different children.

    Do you have a dawn chorus? (when the birds start singing at first light). Could you record that and play it to them? Some kids may cover thier ears but others may be enthrawled.

    Regards Duncan
