Description
This practical resource provides an introduction to the theory and practice of writing social stories. It includes examples of successful stories to use as guides, along with information and photocopiable (and downloadable) resources for delivering training on the use of social stories.
Based on detailed work conducted in homes, schools and pre-schools, Writing and Developing Social Stories Ed. 2 offers practical support to anyone addressing the needs of a child or young adult with an autistic spectrum disorder, as well as staff supporting adults with autism. Social stories are short narratives intended for children and adults with autism to help them understand their social world and behave appropriately within it.
The stories:
- Provide clear, concise and accurate information about what is happening in a specific situation, outlining both why it is happening and what a typical response might be.
- Are written by those directly supporting children or adults with autism and only successful stories are included in the book.
- Are infinitely flexible and adaptable to an individual child's social situation.
This 2nd edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout. It also now contains:

- Additional stories for use with adults with autism.
