Description
This book provides 40 discussion stories to help young people consider their place in society and develop more responsible thinking. It aims to promote awareness and challenge prejudice, stereotyping and judgemental behaviour.
Written for use in therapy sessions, schools, youth groups, and by parents, the book offers a forum for diverse opinions to be shared. The stories are designed to be used with little prior knowledge or experience of the topics, making them accessible to everyone involved.
Children with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism may find these stories particularly useful in helping them navigate social situations. The book is ideal for promoting discussion and awareness among young people, and provides comprehensive guidance for professionals and parents.
