“Social Stories and Modeling”
¨ “Modeling is a powerful teaching strategy with children with some form of autism. A social story is a story that depicts some particular social skill being acted out (or modeled).
¨ A good social story will focus on a particular social situation or interaction. A trip to the store, meeting a new person, or going to the school lunchroom with your class - these are all good examples of situations a social story might focus on. The story serves a number of purposes.”
¨ Stories are written and either read or told, Modeling is acted out; however, the difference can sometimes be somewhat blurred.
