The ""Green Zone"" is a visual representation of finding common ground between one person (blue) and another person (yellow) to create a ""green zone"" that represents the pairs shared interests. The book, illustrated with dozens of photographs representing the range of other peoples interests, clearly explains what the ""Green Zone"" is and how to find it, and contains many photocopiable conversation practice activities and reinforcement worksheets based on this simple visual.Ideal for use in classroom settings or at home, this attractive, full colour book is suitable for children on the autism spectrum aged 7 and up.
