A comic
strip conversation is a conversation between two or more people which
incorporates the use of simple drawings. These drawings serve to
illustrate an ongoing communication, providing additional support to
individuals who struggle to comprehend the quick exchange of
information which occurs in a conversation. Experience with Comic
Strip Conversations indicates they may be an effective tool for
parents and professionals working with students with autism and other
developmental disabilities. Comic Strip Conversations are based on the
belief that visualization and visual supports, found useful in
structuring the learning of students with autism, may also improve
their understanding and comprehension of conversation. In addition, the
use of a basic set of symbols are used in
Comic Strip Conversations to illustrate social skills which are
abstract and difficult for students with autism to understand. Also
available in French!

Exploring
Feelings: Anger
Attwood, Dr.
Tony
The
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy program Exploring Feelings was designed by
the author to be highly structured, interesting and successful in
encouraging the cognitive control of emotions. Every child
participating in the program has a workbook for the six two-hour
sessions that includes activities and information to explore the
specific feelings of being happy, relaxed, anxious or angry. There are
sections in the workbook to record individual comments and responses to
questions. At the end of each session, a project is explained to the
child, which is to be completed before the next session. At the start
of the next session the project is discussed with the person
implementing the program or the group of participants using the
program. A metaphor was created of the child being an astronaut or
scientist exploring a new planet, as the author has noted that children
with Asperger syndrome are often interested in exploration of the
physical world, science and science fiction. The Exploring Feelings
program is designed to explore the mental world from a scientific
perspective. There are two Exploring Feelings programs, one is designed
to explore and manage anxiety, the other to explore and manage anger.
The original program was designed for small groups of two to five
children between the ages of 9 and 12 years, with two adults conducting
the program. However, the Exploring Feelings program can easily be
modified so that it can be used with just one child. The activities can
also be modified to be age appropriate for an adolescent or adult. The
program was designed as a treatment for an anxiety disorder or anger
management problem in children with Asperger’s syndrome but the program
can be equally applied to children with High Functioning Autism and
Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS). The
author also designed the program so that it does not have to be
implemented by a qualified psychologist. A teacher, speech pathologist,
occupational therapist or parent could implement the program without
having training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
