Teaching children with autism using social stories

12/10/12


An effective method for teaching children with autism social skills

Author: Barry K. Morris / Barry K. Morris

-helpism-autism. org

Children with autism experience difficulties in social interaction. The model of mind theory describes their problems when they need to look at a situation from the other person's point of view. A popular strategy for dealing with these problems is social stories, which help people on the spectrum to "read" and understand social situations.

Appropriate social behavior is explained to the child in the form of a story. This method was developed by Carol Gray and aims to provide the autistic person with answers to questions about how to interact with other people in an appropriate way (for example, answers to the questions "who", "what", "when", "where", and " why" of social situations).

Carol Gray is Director of the Gray Center for Social Learning and Understanding in Zeeland, USA. Gray originally worked as a teacher with students on the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and now works as a consultant for inclusive education for children with autism. The social story method was developed by Carol Gray at the age of 19.91, now this method is used all over the world. Gray has written numerous articles on school bullying and social learning issues for children with autism.

Social stories are developed individually for a particular child and may include things that the child appreciates or is interested in. For example, if your child likes dinosaurs, you can make the dinosaurs the characters in the school story, and so on. Children with autism are often better with visual information, so it is desirable for the story to include drawings, photographs, or even real objects.

How to write a social story for someone with autism

Carol Gray recommends a specific social story outline. This outline includes several descriptive and several forward-looking sentences.

Descriptive Sentences

Descriptive Sentences talk about what people do in specific social situations and identify where these situations occur, who is involved in them, what these people are doing and why. Example of descriptive sentences: “Sometimes the fire alarm goes off at school. The fire alarm is a very loud bell that goes off when there is a real fire in the school, or when everyone is exercising outside the building in case of a fire. Teachers, cleaners and the director help us all line up and get out of the building faster. The fire alarm is very loud so everyone can hear it. Sometimes I think it's too loud."

Prospective sentences

This type of sentence describes the reactions of other people so that the person learns the point of view of others on this situation. These sentences describe the internal states of people, their thoughts, feelings and mood. Prospective sentences represent people's reactions to a situation so that a person can learn how other people perceive different events. Example of a prospective sentence: “Fire alarms do not bother all people. Teachers, cleaners, and the principal may not understand why the fire alarm bothers me. Sometimes they get angry because I don't get out fast enough or I don't know what to do. Their job is to get me out of the building as soon as possible so I'm safe in the event of a real fire."

Directive sentences

Directive sentences describe a desirable or appropriate course of action in a given situation. Such sentences are built in an affirmative form, explaining in positive terms what kind of behavior is desirable. The nature of directive suggestions is such that they must be used with great care and not limit the individual's choice. The more descriptive sentences in the history, the more opportunities a person has for his own reactions to a social situation. The more directive statements, the more specific the prompts the person should be about how to respond.

Directive sentences are formulated only positively and only in the first person. Directive sentences usually follow descriptive sentences, and they talk about what is the expected response to a cue or situation. Directive sentences usually begin with "I can try...", "I will try..." or "I will work on...". Example of a directive sentence: "I will try to remain calm when the fire alarm rings."

Care must be taken not to use too many directive or control sentences in a social story, otherwise you will turn it into an "anti-social story" - a set of demands and commands.

Control sentences

These sentences define strategies a person can use to remember or understand a social story. They are usually added after you have studied social history together. The controlling sentence is written by the child, or compiled at his prompt. Example of a control sentence: "When the fire alarm goes off, think of the dinosaurs and how they follow each other out of the forest to escape the fiery meteorites."

Once the story is written, you can complete it with pictures that are meaningful to the child and help them remember the story. The story can be used as a bedtime story, read with a child instead of a book, and so on. You can read the story to your child daily, or you can read the story to your child at different times during the week. Carol Gray reports fantastic results from her method.

Do not use too many control and directive sentences

Two types of sentences are used only occasionally: directive and control sentences. They may not be used at all, but if they are included in the story, then Carol Gray recommends using them in the following ratio: 0-1 directive or control sentence for every 2-5 descriptive or prospective sentences.

Carol Gray developed precisely this ratio of directive or control sentences to descriptive and/or prospective sentences for the social story method. She believes that for every commanding or controlling sentence, there should be two to five descriptive or forward-looking sentences. Depending on the individual and her or his needs, directive or control suggestions may be omitted entirely.

How to use social stories

If the person with autism can read, the parent can present the story by reading it twice. The person can then read the story once a day on their own. If a person with autism cannot read, then a parent can record their reading of the story on video or audio while prompting the person to turn the page. You can prompt with the help of a call or a verbal offer that it is time to turn the page.

The person listens to and "reads" a story once a day. When a person with autism develops the skill described in a social story, you can gradually reduce its use. This can be done by reducing the number of times per week the story is read and then only being reminded of the story once a month or as needed. Another way to reduce the use is to rewrite history, gradually removing directive sentences from it.

Social stories can be used for a variety of purposes

Social stories can be used for more than just learning how to behave in social situations. They can be used to learn new routines, new activities, and how to respond to different feelings such as anger and frustration. While research is ongoing to evaluate the effectiveness of social stories, they appear to be a promising method for improving the social behavior of autistic people.

What does the study say about social stories?

Current research suggests that social stories can be effective in improving adaptive behavior and reducing problem behavior, especially when used in conjunction with applied behavior analysis (ABA). However, children on the autism spectrum will only benefit from this method if they are able to communicate in sentences that link different ideas together.

Several studies in small groups of school-age children with autism have shown the effectiveness of social stories (Mirenda 2001). Social stories are considered effective, but only if they match the child's communication skills (Richards 2000). As with many interventions for autism spectrum disorders, more empirical research is needed with more children to qualify social stories as an evidence-based intervention.

Examples of social stories

When I don't listen to other people

It's very important to look at people and stop doing what I'm doing if they want to tell me something.

Sometimes adults tell me very important things that I need to know.

If I don't watch or listen, I might miss something important and adults will get angry.

I know it's bad to keep doing what I'm doing if adults want me to listen.

I will listen to adults when they talk to me.

How to tune in to other people

I only think about what other people say or do.

When I do this, I can make new friends and understand what is going on around me.

If I think about other things, I can get distracted and even confused.

People will think I'm weird and they won't play with me.

I will always think about what other people say and do.

Interruption

Do not interrupt people who are talking or doing something. It's not polite.

If it's very important, I can pat the person on the shoulder and say "I'm sorry." Otherwise, I have to be patient and wait for them to finish.

Interrupting makes people angry because they stop talking and they may forget what they were talking about.

Everyone deserves to speak without interruption.

Adults like polite children. They are especially proud of children who do not interrupt.

Sometimes I think that something is very important and an adult tells me that it is not.

If this is happening, then I need to wait patiently.

Personal space

When I talk to people, I need to give them personal space and stay away from their faces.

When people stand too close, other people feel uncomfortable.

Everyone needs their own space.

When I make other people uncomfortable, they try to avoid me.

Maybe they won't even want to talk to me again.

When I give people enough personal space, I can play and talk with them, I can have fun, and I can make new friends.

No response from other people

Sometimes people don't answer when I talk to them.

Maybe they didn't hear me.

Maybe they were inattentive.

Maybe they were busy.

Maybe they just don't want to talk to me.

It's not my job to force people to answer me.

I can just forget about it. Maybe they will talk to me later.

Questions you know the answer to

It's not good to ask a question I know the answer to.

This will make other people bored.

People might think that I can't remember their answers.

People might think I'm stupid.

People might think I'm testing them and they'll get angry.

If I want to talk to someone, I can ask a question to which I don't know the answer.

Circle time

Circle time means I'm listening to the teacher.

If I talk to other children, the teacher may get upset because I don't listen to him.

Other children may think that I am a bad boy who does not follow the rules.

When I listen to a teacher, I learn.

Learning is fun and I can remember to listen to the teacher.

Playing together

I talk to the children I play with.

It is very important not to talk to children who are playing with other children.

If I talk to children who play other games, my friends will get upset, they will think that I am ignoring them.

Maybe next time they won't want to play with me.

If I only talk to my friends, then we have fun together.

Next time they will play with me again.

Call someone by name

When I want to talk to someone, I can go up to that person and address them.

This is a polite act.

When people are called by name, it disturbs all other people in the room, everyone is distracted.

If I call someone by name, people might think that I don't know how to behave.

I can approach people if I want to talk to them.

When an adult calls me

When an adult calls me, I need to stop what I'm doing and go to him.

It is possible that an adult wants to tell me something that I urgently need to know.

If I don't come, I won't know what I need to know.

Adults don't like children who don't listen to them.

I will listen to adults.

When I really want to say something

Sometimes I feel like saying something so badly that I feel like I need to say it right now.

It is very important to wait until the other person has stopped talking.

Even if it seems important, it can wait.

I will be better listened to if I wait patiently.

When I interrupt, it only makes people angry.

People start wondering, "What's wrong with him?" "Why can't he wait?"

If I can wait, I can tell them later.

Comma before conjunction HOW

Comma before conjunction as used in comparative sentences, in complex sentences. But there are cases when a comma before the union is not always put as it is. And children often make mistakes, putting commas in all cases, forgetting that a turnover with a conjunction like can be part of a predicate or phraseological unit.

Comma before conjunction as used in comparative clauses, in complex sentences. But there are cases when a comma before the union is not always put as it is. And children often make mistakes, putting commas in all cases, forgetting that a turn with a conjunction as can be part of a predicate or phraseological turn.

Lesson progress.

To intrigue the children, I start the lesson on this topic with a problematic dictation. Problem task: Place punctuation marks in these sentences. Students will immediately understand by examples that not everything is so simple with the union as they will want to learn more about this issue.

  1. They managed to recognize her as a prudent and reasonable woman.
  2. He was afraid of familiarity like fire.
  3. Every house, like a person, has its own character.
  4. A father is like a father, only after the death of his mother did he become completely crazy.
  5. It's been three days since I've been in Kislovodsk.
  6. As commander, I order you, gentlemen, to disperse immediately.
  7. They drank grandmother's liquor - yellow as gold, dark as tar.

Having intrigued the children, I create an algorithm with them. (See Appendix)

What introduces the union HOW?

1. Offer. Always isolated.

I don't know how to be here

2. Turnover.

- Comparative. Unions LIKE, EXACTLY, WHAT, WHAT. Is isolated almost always, except in cases:
a) Included in the predicate
b) Phraseologism

- Identities. Does not separate.

He was invited as an expert (he=expert)

Now we formulate the rules for setting a comma or its absence before the union HOW

Rule 1.

A comma is placed before the union HOW if this is a sentence with a comparative turnover. Sometimes, in addition to the union as , unions as if, as if, as if, exactly, what, if, than .

She melted like a candle. He is stubborn as a donkey.

Rule 2.

A comma is placed in a complex sentence before the union as .

His lips move as if he is repeating something.

Sometimes in the main part of the sentence there are correlative words such, so, so, that.

Hot weather is as unhealthy as cold weather.

Rule 3

There was something unusual in her eyes, as in her whole face.

Rule 4.

Phrases are always separated by commas: as a rule, as an exception, as usual, as always, as before, as now, as now, as on purpose, as is known, as such.

The day began as usual. Commas, as a rule, stand out adverbial turnover.

Rule 5

It was nothing but ball lightning. It was none other than Ivan Ivanovich.

Rule 6 (Our garden is like a front yard. It sounds like an insult.)
  • Is a phraseological unit. (He spins like a squirrel in a wheel. He walks like he's down in the water.)
  • Comparative turnover is synonymous with creative comparison or can be replaced by an adverb:
  • Is a turnover of identity. You can put an equal sign between the turnover and what is being said. As an excellent student, my sister went to the conference (Sister = excellent student)
  • Union how matters in quality. Everyone knew him as a good locksmith.
  • Note

    An additional circumstance with the meaning of the reason or condition is optionally separated in the letter by commas, i.e. not always.

    She, as the smallest, was her father's favorite. (She was father's favorite as the youngest) (She was father's favorite as the youngest)

    After explaining the rules, I return the children to the problematic dictation, and they themselves punctuate.

    1. They managed to recognize her as a prudent and reasonable woman. (No comma needed: They managed to recognize her as a prudent and reasonable woman)
    2. He was afraid of familiarity like fire. (The comma is not needed, since there is a phraseological phrase here)
    3. Each house, like a person, has its own character (A comma is needed because the turnover begins with a bunch of HOW AND)
    4. Father is like a father, only after the death of his mother did he become completely crazy (Comma is not needed, since the turnover of identity)
    5. It's been three days since I've been in Kislovodsk (Comma is not needed, as it is part of the predicate)
    6. As a commander, I order you, gentlemen, to disperse immediately (Comma is not needed: As a commander, I order you . ..)
    7. They drank grandmother's liquor - yellow as gold, dark as tar (Commas are needed - comparative turns)
