Social
Stories are personalized stories with simple pictures that
explain in plain concise language what the reader can expect to
happen in a social situation. It puts the reader in the story
and can be personalized for the individual using their name and
or picture. These stories can be used as a teaching tool if
someone is having a specific problem or if something new is
going to happen such as a change in routine. These stories help autistic children because
it tells them that “they” are actually going to do
this. Hopefully, this early warning will help alleviate problem
behaviors.
Use images in Teaching Pix for social stories.
