- Gaining practical experience in using clay to explicitly teach the Davis Life Concepts for Autism. These include: consequence, time, sequence, order and disorder - facilitating true understanding of one's environment. Other concepts covered include: emotion, want, need, motivation, and responsibility. There is also a set of Relationship Concepts which include exploring relationships based on trust, belief, agreement and rules; as well as the idea of making decisions based on what is good, bad, right and wrong.
