What is a social story? How can it be used with your child during this holiday season?

A social story is an individualized short story that describes social relevant cues in any given situation. It breaks down a challenging social situation into understandable steps by omitting irrelevant information and by being highly descriptive to help children and adults with exceptional needs understand the entirety of a situation.

There are a variety of social story topics available, but with many families bringing their children to take pictures with and meet Santa, one of our speech-language pathologists has created a social story you can download here.

Should you have any additional questions about social stories and how to utilize them, please reach out to one of our Speech-Language Pathologists at www.collaborativecorner.org.
