Picture sequence

Talk Together: trying something new

What worried each character? What did they ask? What did they choose to try, and what support helped?

Practise a question you might find useful: “Can you show me first?”, “What will we do next?” or “Can we find somewhere quieter?” You can speak, write, sign or use a communication device.

You can discuss the characters rather than your own experiences.
