Conversation Train Book

This fun and inventive picture book uses the metaphor of a train is designed to support children with autism to build their confidence and understanding of conversation structures.

Engines are like greetings; they get the train going. Freight wagons are like different speakers’ turns; it is good to have at least a few when you are in conversation. A set of points guiding a train from one track to another is like a tactful change in the topic of conversation. When a conversation veers off-topic it is like a derailed train.
