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. As well as attractive colour photographs of trains, the book contains engaging photocopiable worksheets and colouring pages to help promote skill generalisation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis highly visual approach to conversation is ideally suited to children with ASDs aged approximately 5-13.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Shaul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849059861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849059862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.89h x 11.22w x 0.43d","brand":"Joel Shaul","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045340803327,"sku":"9781849059862","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aef49e9c-abf6-401b-9bcc-20abfbe6883d.jpg?v=1684978170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-conversation-train-joel-shaul-9781849059862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
