We recommend your child initially completes no more than one storybook per day. This allows time for your family to contemplate the story and to incorporate the associated activities into your home.

ABCs of Neurodiversity
Become familiar with terms used within the neurodiversity paradigm! Print the document to keep nearby or simply pull it up when you encounter a term you’re unfamiliar with.
Note: Language is constantly evolving so always defer to individuals and honor identity preferences.
Family Activities
The Family Activities are designed to support your family in building bridges of understanding across family members. For each storybook, there is an accompanying set of activities. The routine-based activities can be folded into your regular routines and the focused activities help reinforce neurodiversity-affirming concepts.
Coloring and Activity Book
Coloring and activities abound! Print this booklet to share with your child for 30 pages of coloring, word searches, puzzles, mazes, games, and more—all featuring the Insight Sprites.
