Hi, I'm hoping to get some help in using social stories as I've just been told about them.
Dd (7years old) very likely has dyspraxia but also shows autistic traits, one being having difficulty understanding other points of view. The Senco at school has suggested using social stories to retell the scenario in third person to help chat through situations.
I've had a google and can't seem to find much about using them for this so was hoping for some help.
This afternoon she had a melt down because I wanted her to share a new sticker pad with her sister. This sticker pad is something she really loves however so does her sister. Unfortunately it's been discontinued and this is the very last one we have. Therefore it's only fair they share it however she's really struggling to come to terms with that since she loves it so much. (It's been put away for now until we've chatted).
So I'm guessing I tell a story version of this in third person but do I resolve the story with them sharing or do I stop at the point of her not wanting to and then ask her questions about it?
Any other tips about using them? Should they be visual or is just telling them okay?
TIA!
