PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Social stories can…
improve a child’s behavior when there are changes in routines or when they are doing something new for the first time
For example: create a social story:
-before going out to eat for the first time
-before a fire drill
-before a building wide assembly
-before a new student joins your classroom
-before a big move
Notice all the “before” words?? Be proactive with social stories so you don’t have to be reactive as often!
