Carol Gray offers a full 100 of her famous Social Stories, explaining what to do in everyday situations that spectrum children may find confusing. These simple, illustrated stories help them understand particular situations, what a child might do in that situation, and what the outcome might be. Sample stories include, ""Can I hold the baby?""; ""How to give a hug""; and ""What am I supposed to do at recess?"" Carol details how to write a Social Story, so you can tailor-make stories to fit your child's needs. Included are directions for reviewing a Social Story with others, which encourages generalization.
