Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.
In this episode, we will discuss:
✅ Social scripts are a visual tool that helps children with ASD, ADHD, ODD, and PDA understand social rules and interactions.
✅ They describe social situations and skills and can be helpful in engaging in new activities or understanding expectations and rules.
✅ Successful social scripts use photos, line drawings, or videos to support the text and involve the child in their creation.
✅ The language used in social scripts should be flexible, positive, and easy to understand.
✅ It's important to check understanding by reading the social scripts with the child and make any necessary edits.
✅ Re-reading social scripts often is important to reinforce learning, and it can be helpful to make copies for use at home and school.
✅ Social scripts promote true social understanding by helping children with ASD understand social rules, what others mean, and how to interact.
