Comic Strip Conversations is a book which combines stick-figure illustrations with "conversation symbols" to illustrate what people say and think during conversations.This reinforces the concept that others have independent thought and can help children to recognise that while some people say one thing, they may mean another. This book is designed to help autistic children to communicate their emotions and develop conversation skills.

Educator Appraisal

Comic Strip Conversations is for children who struggle socially. I liked that the resource is engaging and colourful, and that complex ideas are broken down. I didn't like that it's quite small, it's resource-intensive, and it has a limited scope.

Evidence Rating

Comic Strip Conversations is based on Carol Gray's Social Stories. There are multiple studies with pre-post measures that show positive effects of Comic Strip Conversations; however, these studies remain underpowered (conducted in small groups), so we cannot increase the rating.
