Social Stories
Social
Stories are an effective tool for teaching
social skills to children. A couple of years ago my grade five class had book buddies that were in grade primary. One of the students in the primary class had autism. The learning center teacher at the time asked if she could teach my class how to write social stories for the grade primary classroom. We did. These stories included everything from what to do when your nose is running, to what to do when there is a substitute teacher. These stories were not only great for the child who had autism, but for every primary who is new to the social situations that are experienced for the first time when they come to school. Social stories are great for teaching positive behaviours, skills, and for preparing students for new events. Pictello is a great app for creating social stories on the iPad.
Video Modeling
Video
modeling involves a student watching a
video of a person carrying out a desired
behaviour. After the student watches the video, the student then
imitates this behaviour.
It can also be used to demonstrate
and teach certain skills to students
with autism and to prepare students for new or upcoming events.
