THE GREEN ZONE CONVERSATION BOOK: FINDING COMMON GROUND IN CONVERSATION FOR CHILDREN ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM

Book ID/图书代码： 06930015B79379

English Summary/英文概要： This inventive color picture book uses the metaphor of a train to teach basic conventions of conversation to children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).

Locomotives are like greetings; they get the train going. Train cars are like different speakers’ turns; it is good to have at least a few when you are in conversation. A switch track is like a tactful change in the topic of conversation. When a conversation veers off-topic it is like a derailed train. As well as attractive color photographs of trains, the book contains engaging photocopiable worksheets and coloring pages to help promote skill generalization.

This highly visual approach to conversation is ideally suited to children with ASDs aged approximately 5-13.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本极具创意性的彩色图画书用火车打比喻，教会自闭症儿童对话的基本规则。——火车头就像是问候，能让火车开起来（开始对话）；每节车厢就像是对话者在轮流讲话（对话时总要说两句）；转换轨道就好比是转换话题；偏题就好像是火车出轨了。

书中除了漂亮的彩色照片，还有可复制的学习卡片和涂色页，帮助发展孩子的对话技巧，最适合5-13岁的自闭症儿童。（LYR）

Awards/获奖情况：“本书是教授对话技巧必不可少的工具！“对话火车”用一种具体的方式呈现出对话的各个要素，同时还涉及了更加高级的问题，如跑题、延长互动等……对初级教育阶段的家长和教师来说必不可少！”——Jill Kozma，语音语言病理学家

This book is a vital tool for anyone teaching conversation skills! The Conversation Train is packed with engaging locomotive imagery connecting the aspects of conversation with trains in a tangible way. It explores advanced conversation issues such as a "derailed" conversation, or expanding interactions by "making the train longer". This interactive format capitalizes on the natural appeal of trains, offering specific teaching cues to support positive peer interactions. A must-have for any elementary teacher or parent. --Jill Kozma, Speech-Language Pathologist, Minneapolis, MA
