Attentiveness training affects both stability of eye gaze and level of interaction by the child with autism and the teacher / care giver / service provider. Once this has been achieved then children with autism become reasonable visual learners.
Making simple dynamic paper toys with the child through material manipulation and helping the child through assisted play has been found to be reasonably motivating and creative approach to get the following benefits.
· Enhanced attentiveness
· Building of early communication skills
· Better socialisation and bonding
· Improved sensory processing
· Weaning away from the present repetitive behaviour

Self-made toys make the child to pass through a process of attention focussing; sustaining attention through play practice and shifting of attention with a new toy.
