A practical construction play communication book for autistic and neurodivergent learners, using Core Words and Colourful Semantics to support meaningful language during building, making and shared play.

The book includes six communication sections covering Core Words, WHO, WHAT DOING, WHAT, WHERE and WHAT LIKE?

The vocabulary is intentionally focused rather than overloaded, making it easier for adults to find and model useful words during construction play.

The resource also includes practical guidance to support adults in using the visuals responsively during shared play.

This construction play communication resource is suitable for class teachers, specialist teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs, speech and language professionals and families supporting autistic and neurodivergent learners.

It can be used in mainstream classrooms, specialist settings, autism provision, early years environments and at home.

Created by Alison Garza, Specialist Teacher and founder of Elevating Neurodiversity, drawing on almost 20 years in education and specialist experience supporting autistic learners.
