Help Autistic Kids Build Social and Communication Skills

Our curriculum gives autistic learners clear, step-by-step practice with the social skills they need to thrive in school and beyond. Target specific skills, or follow the curriculum to promote skill acquisition overall. Our lessons cover a wide variety of skills, and we have materials for PreK- Grade 12.

Engage Autistic Learners with Evidence-based Video Modeling Lessons

Video modeling is a research-backed strategy proven effective for students with autism. Everyday Speech videos feature diverse, relatable actors modeling real-life social situations in ways autistic learners can understand and replicate.

Scenarios include making a request, joining a group, handling frustration, or responding to teasing. Visual supports like thought bubbles and voiceovers show the “why” behind each action, helping students build Theory of Mind and social awareness.

Student actors model real-life social situations that mirror classroom and community life

Thought bubbles make inner thoughts visible to help build Theory of Mind

Every scenario shows the “why” behind behavior to strengthen social cognition

Our curriculum is designed for explicit instruction and scaffolded practice, making it highly effective for autistic learners who benefit from clear, structured teaching.

What Educators Are Saying

Read More Testimonials

I have a lot of students on the autism spectrum who are mainstreamed into the regular ed for the majority of their day. Your online program, video modeling and worksheets not only are so helpful for these students but help make my job easy to plan for, meet IEP goals, and also share videos with parents (as homework) and teachers to help students carryover.

Our teachers working with students with Autism love Everyday Speech. You know the research and resources behind video-modeling, but we are seeing it in action. We see the impact that it has on students. If we weren’t seeing the impact, we wouldn’t keep using it.
