Book introduces the "We Can Make It Better!" strategy and story structure, includes sample stories and an outline of a weekly lesson for an individual or a small group of students, and offers guidelines for writing original stories. Stories help learners with social cognitive learning challenges make good choices - in their thoughts, actions and words--that result in improved social interactions. The author, a speech-language pathologist, designed the stories to help children with high-functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome. The highly-illustrated stories have a formulaic and consistent format with familiar scenarios. The short stories provide opportunities for students to identify social dilemmas, express ideas to make the dilemmas better, and gain more understanding in how one person's behavior can positively or negatively impact the outcome(relationship) between people. Kit also contains a CD with diagrams, checklists, scripts, story boards, and 21 stories. | |
