Russ Kiernan: What a great idea! I am autistic. When I was a kid, board games taught me many social skills (taking turns, etc.) I could read and spell when I was four so I played Scrabble. I would suggest though this game at Target that I found called "Charades for Kids". It's a board game with simple Charades. I love it even though I'm way too old for it (I'm 18).
Karl Samiec: Hi, try Zingo, kind of bingo with pictures, readily available at toy stores like toys r us. Neurotypical kids love it too!!
Cedric Grimstead: I'm not aware of any specifically designed for those with challenges, but mine is almost five, and we've been playing Candyland for two years now. It helped him learn is colors (as it is with my 2 yr old, typical child) as well as counting and turn taking. We recently started playing Sorry, which is helping him with number identification, counting, rules, and turn taking. We have used Boggle Jr., where you turn a card and it has a three letter wor! d, and you set a timer, then he has to find the letter that matches it on dice and put them in the correct order. We started doing that at three, but due to time issues don't do it that much anymore. But he loved the challenge of that one! And when he in his Finding Nemo phase we bought a Nemo Memory game that he was exellent at. He is high functioning, and these were all ones that worked well with his level of comprehension, you just have to try them and see what works. It's not a board game, but we recently started playing Go Fish, and he really likes that one. It helps us with language because I have him word things properly when asking if I have a certain card. It works on memory and attention, and it's just plain fun. He loves saying 'go fish!'...Show more
