Pauline A Sorell: Jassy Bear, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Meet Jassy Bear, a young bear who loves playgrounds, swimming and his toy cars. Most of all he loves his family.

Jassy Bear has autism and is non-speaking so is learning how to use his special device called his 'talker' (AAC) to express his wants and needs along with other methods of non-verbal communication.

Through this heart-warming and beautifully illustrated story, children (and their grown ups) will learn about autism and how it can be different in each person, which is why it's called Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD.

Jassy Bear, along with his family and animal friends, take you on a journey as he searches for acceptance, understanding and inclusion. Jassy Bear tries really hard to learn how to be around others but sometimes he just wonders why they can't learn to be around him. An important message to everyone who lives with autism either themselves or someone they know.

Written by an Early Years Special Needs Educator and illustrated by a Speech Pathologist who both share the passion of creating more awareness for autism through early intervention and education. This book would be a valuable tool for pre-schools / kindergartens, classrooms, therapy centres and homes to help educate children about autism and how they can befriend all the little Jassy Bears of the world.
