As the teacher of a very difficult and often misunderstood student with Asperger Syndrome, I found the Comic Strip Conversations opened a door for my student and I to share our worlds. Our perspectives on situations were so different and caused SO much frustration; but we were able to "talk" about the discrepencies in our viewpoints in a very non-threatening way by utilizing the strategies in this book. It was just the beginning for us, but this book was a critical component to building a relationship with my student that has ultimately led to several extremely successful outcomes. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN AMAZING ADDITION TO ANY TEACHER'S LIBRARY!

This is a wonderful book that clearly explains what comic strip conversations are, how to write them, and why they are useful. Although the book is short, the concepts held within are a treasure for helping children learn social communication skills in a fun and non-aversive format. I have used this book to teach parents, aides, and 1:1's how to communicate desired behavior and to help the children express important ideas and needs.The writing and pictures are clear and concise. The use of these picture stories can sometimes help us understand what the child is trying to tell us through behaviors/actions that are hard to interpret.

This book may be good for some, however it is misleading in the description. I was led to beleive that this book was in fact comic book coversations to help explain simple situations to my child with Autism. Instead, you have to write your own comic strips to do the explaining. Not worth the book in my opinion if it is still up to me to do all the work, I already do that without this book.

I expected this book to be more educational and informative. It really just gives you a couple templates and not that many ideas, you do the work on your own. You do not need this book to create your own comic strip.

This book has like 10 pages and basically tells you what a cartoon bubble is and how to draw a comic strip (if you have the intelligence of a 4 yr old, you already know this information). Save your money. I wouldn't pay 10 cents for this in a store and I guarantee you that you wouldn't either if you saw it before you bought it.

In my opinion, this is probably most suited for the most severe cases, but the book is short and cheap.

An ingenious, insightful, and effective method of improving understanding for all participants in the Comic Strip Conversation.
