Another poster suggested starting a new thread about favorite books used in therapy. So here is the newest thread.
I just came from the Michelle Winner Social Thinking Conference and one of the speakers- Andrea Jensen (author of When Babies Read) provided a great list of books to use for working on inferencing, social thinking etc.

She also talked about using Norman Rockwell paintings and comic strips- Calvin & Hobbes, etc.
Other books that are fun (listed by author)-

David Weisner (no text)
Mo Willems (pigeon books)

I am always looking in garage sales, thrift stores, clearance sections of book stores and half price books. You can find a lot of great books for less money. It only takes a few seconds to skim the books to see if can work in therapy.
