Is it appropriate to work on categorization strategies with children and youth with autism at all ability levels?
Yes. For beginners you may start by focusing on visual discrimination, matching identical objects, matching identical pictures, understanding names of objects (concept of word), sorting groups of objects into identical sets, sorting groups of pictures into identical sets, sorting group of objects by one feature (size, color, shape, etc.). For individuals who are at a higher level, activities become less concrete and more abstract. For example, a political science student might group states by whether they voted Republican or Democratic in the most recent election!
