About this user
I am a therapist working with children and teens on the autism spectrum. I co-created Ryuu - The GameĀ® trading cards and CD-ROMs, which use dragons and fantasy to teach social skills.
Ryuu - The GameĀ® is a collection of social skills card games and learning activities, inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, that teach social and emotional skills to children and teens with autism and Asperger Syndrome.
The Ryuu social skills card games follow six Dragons as they evolve from "Bablings" to "Big Wings" in four stages, becoming more socially skilled with every evolution. Challenging these Dragons are the 17 Dark Forces -- invisible villains who make us all socially inept. Helping the Dragons are the 17 Light Forces -- invisible heroes who help us all to be socially successful. You can use these beautifully illustrated cards to begin therapeutic discussions with children, teenagers, and even adults about improving their social and communication skills.
Watch these videos to learn how the Dragons of Ryuu evolve in their social skills development -- and how you can evolve, too!
