Preschoolers with autism learn to tell others their favorite stories through puppets. I teach a preschool class of students diagnosed with autism. Some of my students are able to talk and communicate and others are not. I teach on a military base where many of my students' parents are deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Children with autism lack social (play) skills and communication and need all the opportunities we can provide them to be able to remember, sequence and tell their favorite stories like The Three Bears. Telling their stories may be through sequencing the puppets on the glove or apron or "talking" the sequence through with the puppets as props. This gives them an opportunity to tell others a story whether their language can be understood by others or not.

In order to be able to do this, my students need a storytelling glove, glove puppets, a storytelling apron, storytelling kits and books. This project will give my students the ability to communicate and use their language in the same way that many of their peers do.

As a donor to this project you will be giving preschool students with autism an opportunity to learn to communicate and play with their peer group. If even one child is able to "perform" a story for their parents, this project will have been an enormous success.
