Social Stories

A Social story describes a situation, skill, or concept in terms of relevant social cues, perspectives, and common responses in a specifically defined style and format. The goal of a social story is to share accurate social information in a patient and reassuring manner that is easily understood by its audience. Basically this is where student can make rules, routines, or anything that needs to be addressed into a personal story for them to review when needed. For example you could make a social story written by the student about when the teacher has a substitute. This reinforced good behavior when the teacher is not present and the students with behavior problems or autism know what to do when the school day is a little off track.
