Autism Speaks is proud to partner with the University of Washington READI Lab (Research in Early Autism Detection and Intervention) to provide a series of personalized PowerPoint templates that parents and therapists can customize to explain social situations to children with autism. We invite families to individualize these story templates with your own photos or pictures to help your child know what to expect and how to act in a variety of everyday situations!
