Many students with autism are visual learners and like to learn through seeing something in action. This book comes complete with matching, simple yet engaging graphics to help describe what is being said on the page.

Comes in col option only – no b/w availability, however you can print in grayscale.

Pages included are;
♦ Sometimes it’s nice to go out for a meal.
♦ There are lots of different places you could go for food.
♦ Today we are going to a restaurant.
♦ When we arrive at the restaurant, we will have to wait to be shown to our table.
♦ When the server has taken us to our table, we can order some drinks.
♦ Now, we can look at the menu to see what we want to eat.
♦ The menu is usually split into starters, mains, sides and desserts.
♦ If I am unsure of anything on the menu, I can ask our server.
♦ If there’s something on the food I don’t like I can ask for it to be removed and the chef will.
♦ Certain foods I can ask to be cooked in different ways such as steak or eggs.
♦ Once we have ordered our food, we have to wait for it to be cooked.
♦ When it is ready, the food will be brought to our table.
♦ If I need help to cut my food, I can ask.
♦ I can also order another drink if I have finished mine.
♦ Or ask for any sauces that I may want.
♦ Our server may come back and check on us while we are eating to make sure our food is ok.
♦ Once we have finished our food, the server will take away our dishes.
♦ At the end of our meal we have to pay for our food. We can do this by asking for the bill.
