Tony Goes Shopping

The first story written by Valerie Sheehan was "Tony goes shopping" as it’s very often something that parents look for help with. Through lots of trial and error, I found that distraction and staying busy in the supermarket helped a lot, especially for children who get overstimulated easily. I put these techniques into a story which I think will appeal to both parent and child. I wanted the story to help parents to realise shopping trips can be done if preparation is done. This holds true with lots of activities for children with autism.
