Children Succeed Launches Newest Research Based Game For Autistic Children - Step Into Conversation

    NEWTOWN, CT, August 01, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Step Into Conversation provides autistic children with the structure and support they need to begin a conversation, stay on topic, ask good questions and make relevant comments. Conversation cards contain basic, scripted conversations, a way to expand on the basic conversations and reminders for children to stand, look, talk and listen.The game includes unique shoe print cards to help children remember to face the other person while talking.

Children Succeed's latest game was created by Joan Nash, a successful school psychologist with over 20 years experience working with special needs children and founder of Children Succeed. All games created by Ms. Nash have been successfully kid tested before being offered to parents and other professionals. She bases the games on the most current research regarding how autistic children learn. Each of the games promotes more effective social and communication skills.

Ms. Nash has used each of the seven products successfully with the children she works with and can recall one autistic boy who never tired of talking about his love for dinosaurs. After playing Children Succeed games, such as Let's Talk, Step Into Conversation, and using the eye stickers, his topics of conversation grew dramatically. He began to demonstrate the give and take of conversation and no longer ignored the comments of other children.

"As this boy's social and communication skills improved he began developing real friendships for the first time. This is the ultimate goal," said Ms. Nash. "As a school psychologist, my passion is to help children on the autism spectrum develop better social and communication skills."
