Written and illustrated by a certified speech-language pathologist, this book bridges the gap between clinical support & everyday reading. By leaning into a child’s natural love for numerical patterns, literal thinking, and sensory play, it turns a fun story into a powerful communication tool.
Why It Works
• Supports High-Tech AAC Users- Embedded AAC icons encourage AAC users to read along by finding and augmenting the corresponding icon on their own device.
• Taps into a Love for Order- Uses a literal 1–10 sequence to teach the social concepts of waiting in line and turn-taking. The predictability of numbers helps reduce transition anxiety.
• Supports Gestalt Language Learners- Includes functional gestalt phrases / scripts like "Let’s go!", "We gotta wait," and "This is fun!" which can be applied during daily routines.
• Visual Aids for Communication: Embedded augmentative alternative communication (AAC) icons help children bridge the gap between seeing a word or phrase and understanding its meaning.
• Sensory-Driven Engagement- Centered around a rainbow slide, a high-interest sensory activity, to keep kids engaged and motivated to participate.

From the Page to the Playground
For children who thrive on predictability and visual supports, this book provides a roadmap for communication. Whether it’s learning “time to line up” at school or “we gotta wait” in the community, numerical structure makes big social concepts feel safe and logical.
