This booklet contains 34 pages in color and 34 pages in black and white.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Curamus School for Autism for their support and invaluable assistance with the design of these booklets.

This booklet is a learning resource designed specifically for neurodiverse learners. The aim of the booklet is to help children develop early learning skills through simple, visual and structured activities.

Children complete activities such as matching pictures, recognizing objects, identifying shapes and animals, and connecting pictures with the correct words. These activities support children who learn best through visual support, repetition and hands-on interaction.

The structured format helps learners practice observation, classification and basic vocabulary development in a calm and engaging way.
