The Adaptive First Eucharist Kit for individuals with autism or other special needs includes eight pieces:

• My Picture Missal Flip Book and Mass Picture Cards are for use at Mass. They help the individual maintain focus and actively participate in the Mass.
• Bless Yourself Matching Puzzle helps the individual learn how to make the Sign of the Cross. This activity can be paired with parent or catechist modeling so it becomes a gross motor imitation task.
• Who Is Jesus? Instructional Story introduces the individual to Jesus as the Son of God and relates God’s family to the individual’s family.
• Communion Is Not the Same as Food Matching Puzzle helps the individual distinguish between the Eucharist and ordinary food.
• How to Receive Communion Matching Puzzle shows all the steps of receiving Communion reverently, providing a guide for the individual to practice. This learning tool may be taught with sequencing or modeling.
• I Receive Communion Picture Book reinforces the reverence and proper steps of receiving Communion.
• Helper Guide includes tips on how to use the kit.
• A backpack so the individual can transport the items from home, faith formation sessions, and Mass.
