Ben, His Helmet and Bees in Your Bonnet Nelle Frances First edition

The 'Ben and His Helmet' series are helping children on the Autistic Spectrum learn how to cope with the characteristics of Autism and Asperger's Syndrome and to self-manage their behaviour. Children are using the series as a reference as they look for assistance in navigating:- School Routines; Social Skills; Facial Expression; Literal Meanings; Sensory Issues and Transition & Change. Ben, His Helmet and Bees in Your Bonnet is about school Sports Day and the Asperger child. The book also includes a range of puzzle pages that children love to solve. Ben is confused! Mr. Pellum thinks he has a 'bee in his bonnet' but there aren't any bees in the classroom and he wears a hat, not a bonnet! And if that's not bad enough, Ben's just remembered that it's Sports Day on Friday!
