Using social stories as a strategy to improve social and communication skills
The teenage years are probably our most social years.
Being a teen can be a stressful, yet exciting time.
For teens with ASD the teenage years ARE stressful and confusing.
For the majority of us becoming social beings, means we will need different and at times more complex social and communication skills. But if you already struggle with social and communication skills these added pressures can be overwhelming.
Using social stories as a strategy for teaching and encouraging social and communication skills in teenagers with ASD has been proven a sucessful method. Research suggests that social stories which follow specific formats really do make a difference in helping teenagers with autism cope with social interactions.
A social story can provide reassurance and clarity through appropriate text and visual images in a step by step plan or framework that a teen with autism can easily understand and use. The soial story can help by making an awkward or stressful situation, behavior or social skill clearer and more routine, which is less likely to cause upset or problems helping them connect and "fit in" with their peers.
