Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Many people who have difficulties with social cognition, including those on the autism spectrum, are not able to see the “big picture” of a situation. This will help students with cognitive deficits “see” how individual pieces of social information fit into a larger context, so that they may begin to become “big picture thinkers” and, therefore be more successful.
