How do social stories work?
assistant
Social stories are a technique used to help children with autism learn how to behave in social situations. They are a short story that describes a situation that the child might encounter, and how they should behave in that situation. For example, a social story might describe a situation where a child is at a birthday party and needs to use the bathroom. The social story would describe how the child should act in that situation, such as waiting for the host to give permission to go to the bathroom, or asking the host if they can go to the bathroom.
