Andrew's World Barbara Bucklin

Inspired by Andrew who is on the spectrum, this book in the "Andrew's World" series is a social story about plans that are cancelled. It's intended to prepare children on the spectrum for the experience, transitions, emotions, and skills needed when a plan is cancelled or changed. A child can curl up with a loved one and learn about how to cope with a change in plans, through Andrew's lens of the world. Andrew's actions and reactions provide a behavior model for other children to learn from, and the Skills Checklist helps adults work with them to apply what they learned. As they advance and gain more skills, this book and Skills Checklist can grow with them.
