Every SLP, counselor, and teacher knows skills learned aren't helpful unless they are generalized. This assignment tasks students with paying more attention to others in their life outside of the therapy session or classroom lesson.
Perspective Taking Homework Assignment
Individuals on the autism spectrum often struggle with developing empathy, as they do not naturally observe the actions, body language, interactions, or facial expressions of others as attentively or regularly as neurotypical individuals do.
This homework assignment capitalizes well upon the Developing Empathy activity. This resource starts with a comprehensive conversation about facilitating development of empathy and perspective-taking skills in individuals on the autism spectrum. The subsequent homework assignment requires students to pay attention to real-life interpersonal interactions and to put themselves in the proverbial shoes of another. Said assignment concludes by asking the student what actions they could have taken so as to improve a social scenario for an individual in distress, integrating interpretation and observation with both troubleshooting and taking action.
