Who:
Children who benefit from clear social scripts, especially those who find group games overstimulating or struggle with the “rules of play” in a fast-paced environment.
What:
This is a simple visual sequence that breaks down the mechanics of the game. It uses simple imagery and clear language to explain waiting in a circle, tapping heads gently, the difference between “Duck” and “Goose,” and the transition from sitting to running.
Why:
Group games move fast, and for an autistic child, the social pressure to react quickly can lead to anxiety or withdrawal. This visual support lowers the “cognitive load” by providing a roadmap of what comes next. By making the rules visible and permanent (rather than just spoken), you give the child the confidence to join the circle, understand their role, and focus on the fun of the game rather than the fear of making a mistake.
