What can you do when the other child says "no" and how do you accept when someone doesn't want to play with you. This is a great one that I used by my 14 year old autistic son who would get upset every time he couldn't get anyone to play with him or play what he wanted to play. It really worked. Understanding that not everyone wants to play the same thing as you and how to find a middle ground to playing with another child is a strategy that gets lost with our special needs person. Social stories are great ways to provide visual cues to explain more appropriate ways of interacting with others. This book can be used over and over again to teach your special needs child more appropriate strategies for dealing with things going on in their environment. Each book is made with double folded 110 cardstock, laminated to keep it nice, and bound for ease in use. Please check out our store for a more detailed description of each book and the variety of formats (PDF files/CD-roms) we offer. What is a Social Story Social Story Books are tools for teaching social skills to children with autism and related disabilities. Social stories provide an individual with accurate information about those situations they may find difficult or confusing. Each situation is described in detail and focus is given to key points: the important social cues, the events and reactions the individual might expect to occur in the situation, the actions and reactions that might be expected of them, and why. The goal of our stories; to increase the individual’s understanding, make them more comfortable, and suggest some appropriate responses for the situation in question.
