Tips for ASD
-
Start with simpler puzzles: Depending on the individual’s level of comfort and experience with puzzles, starting with simpler ones may be best. A 500 piece puzzle can be a great starting point, and gradually increasing the number of pieces can help build confidence and skills.
-
Consider visual supports: Visual supports can be helpful for individuals with autism, such as using a picture of the completed puzzle as a reference or using color-coded trays for the puzzle pieces.
-
Use positive reinforcement: Praise and positive reinforcement can be helpful in motivating individuals with autism to continue working on the puzzle. Rewarding progress and completion can also be effective.
-
Create a quiet, low-stimulus environment: Many individuals with autism may be sensitive to noise, visual distractions, or other stimuli. Creating a quiet, low-stimulus environment to work on the puzzle can help them focus and reduce anxiety.
-
Take breaks: Depending on the individual, taking breaks from the puzzle can be beneficial. It can help prevent frustration and provide opportunities for other activities that promote relaxation and self-regulation.
-
Work together: Working together with a family member, friend, or therapist can provide social interaction, encourage communication, and make the experience more enjoyable.
-
Explore different puzzle types: There are many different types of puzzles available, from traditional jigsaw puzzles to three-dimensional puzzles and more. Exploring different types of puzzles can keep the activity fresh and engaging.
By following these tips, individuals with autism can enjoy the benefits of jigsaw puzzles while also improving their cognitive and social skills. Brain Tree Games is proud to offer a wide selection of puzzles that cater to individuals of all ages and abilities, including those on the autism spectrum. Our puzzles are made with high-quality materials and designs that are both fun and challenging.
