A toy that helps develop the social skills of sharing and turn taking especially in
kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder and intellectual disability.
Research:
One of the main characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder is social skills impairment.
While studying the students of Jr. Chetan at BM Institute of Mental health, one of my key observations was the lack of coordination and peer-peer interaction even during group activities.
Studies have shown that successful peer relationships provide learning opportunities and positive developmental support.
Play skills are a subset of social skills; they involve skills such as observation, turn-taking, sharing, compromising, joining and ending play and so on.
