Special Interest Passport

What it is

The Special Interest Passport turns a child's deep interest into a bridge to other people. Kids fill in a little passport about what they love, then collect stamps every time they share their interest, and every time they ask about someone else's. Interest Visas collect what friends love. Conversation cards, share-time passes and Ask Me About badges make it easy to start. Made with autistic kids ages 7 to 11 in mind, and for any child who loves something deeply.
