Product Details
Every day we are faced with situations and social expectations that neurodiverse students, including those with ASD, don't always understand. These photo social stories are designed to help students learn the "hidden rules" of social expectations. They utilize research and evidence-based methods to help students build CASEL skills in the areas of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship skills. Use this item one-on-one or in a small group.
Each story will help students recognize:
- The social cues they need to look for.
- Emotions that are typical for the scenario.
- Actions that are typically expected for the social situation.
- Suggested appropriate social responses.
- An easy to understand explanation for the social situation.
To begin, a teacher or facilitator holds up one Photo Social Story Card to the players, showing the picture while reading the story and facts from the back of the card. Each story is written in the first person with straightforward language, and is also broken down into clear bullet points in the facts section of the card. The facilitator then uses the questions to initiate a conversation and critical thinking about the social scenario. The questions are designed to connect the story to players' personal experiences, showing how the skills can be applied in daily life.
Photo Social Stories are available in 4 sets: Everyday Social Situations; Kids and Their Family; School; Community.
Each set includes 35 photo cards. Sets can be purchased individually or together as a group of 4 sets.
Ages: 5-12
