Quick Strategy: To assist children with autism in learning to answer and ask “why” questionsdevelop your child’s ability to understand cause and effect relationships.
Try using sequencing picture cards initially to assist in developing your child’s understanding of cause and effect relationships.
Purchase or develop sets of 3-5 pictures representing a sequence of events (EX: child running to school because he is missed his bus, etc.) Pair “why” questions with the sequenced events. EX: “Why is the child running to school?”, etc. Use pictures from the sequence to prompt appropriate responses. Use many examples of picture sequences to develop your child’s understanding of cause effect relationships.
