Social+Story+Books

= Social Story books: = = = = = Social story books were invented by Carol Gray over twenty years ago, the aim of these books is to teach social and behavioural skills to children on the autistic spectrum. Social stories are usually very short and to the point, using real photos or drawings accompanied by a few short sentences. It is important that these books are individualised to meet each child’s needs and are thought to work better when the child own photo’s are used. = = = = ==== These books are a great way for children on the autistic spectrum to learn social and behavioural skills as they provide visual examples of appropriate and inappropriate behaviour that the student can follow (Social skills builder, 2010). Generally the teacher makes the social story, so this would be a great strategy to use that enable the child not only to look at it through school, but is able to take it home and use it as well. ====
