Over 150 Stories to help take children with ASD though basic activities
Carol Gray has extensive experience of working with children with autistic spectrum disorders. She teaches at Jenison Public School in Michigan, USA, is the editor of The Morning News, a newsletter on autistic spectrum disorders, and lectures internationally.
While intended mainly for autistic children, the clear, patient
explanations of basic skills and situations could well be of use to
any young child... The jolly black and white line drawings help
bring reassurance to life skills and to situations children find
themselves. In. "A Note to Parents and Professionals" gives the
background for the stories and advice as to how they should be
used.
*Healthy Books*
My Social Stories Book is a practical guide to the use of social
stories with young children. Social stories are well established as
a great way to teach children with autism new skills using pictures
and step-by-step explanations. The book is filled with examples of
social stories covering almost every situation you could think of
aimed at 2-6 Year olds, includes many day to day situations that
children with autism often find confusing or frustrating. This book
is value for money for those families or workers wishing to try
social stories and needing ideas to get started. Families could dip
into it to prepare children for new experiences and/or to help
teach new skills.
*Communication*
My Social Stories Book offers a rich bank of material for adults
who wish to support young children with ASD make sense of their
environment and function more effectively in it, and may hopefully
become a tool in rigorous empirical research into the effectiveness
of social stories.
*Debate*
Over the last ten years, Carol Gray's wonderful concept of the
Social Story has stood the test of time... Each family with a child
who has autism needs to make room on the book self for this one
