Yes, love them. We make up our own for individual kids and situations.

Me too, I read carol greys book and believe she wrote one on stories you could use, but I can't really see how you can tranfer them form one child to another when every situation and every child is different. I end up writing about 6 a week though argh

Writing one today! Have to for my course. They are brilliant but be warned if a child is higher on the spectrum (aspergers etc) they may not work. The more thought of mind they have the more difficult to use social stories.

Has anyone got any links/tips to help me in supporting a yr7 pupil with Aspergers who is finding it hard socialising in school?? I was hoping to find something I could copy for him - bullet points or something similar
TIA

hmmmm, sounds like it could be a huge issue and not something you could eally bullet point.

could you beak down his issues into areas and work on each one individually, so it could be eye contact, personal space, body language, etc etc

Cheers, yes I know its a pretty big area - just looking for basic pointers of what to concentrate on really. Breaking it down into smaller areas is a great idea. Thx
