Using Social Stories to Increase Positive Behaviors for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Spencer, Vicky G.; Simpson, Cynthia G.; Lynch, Sharon A.
Intervention in School and Clinic, v44 n1 p58-61 2008
One support that has shown some promise for teaching appropriate classroom behaviors to students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is the use of social stories. A social story is a short, simple story written from the child's perspective. It describes a social situation, and through text and visual supports, it provides instruction on positive and appropriate social behaviors. This article can assist teachers in using social stories to encourage positive behavior and thus increase learning for children with ASD in the inclusive classroom. (Contains 1 table.)
