"Using treatments of autism that help improve social and communication skills"
Visual suppot tools for autism such as social skills stories are used primarily as a means of communication, and as a method for teaching and developing social, interaction, imagination and communication skills in children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder).
Over the past twenty years social skills stories have grown into one of the major visual support tools for autism. Social stories are easy to use and require no formal training or qualification to be able to use the effectivelly.
Research shows that no matter where on the autism spectrum scale an autistic child is, social skills stories can be used effectively in teaching social skills to all children with autism. Social stories are used like a role model, are written in the first person, follow a set formula and use visual images or pictures to help your child understand the skill being taught or re-enforced.
Using social stories with YOUR autistic child
Social stories can be used for various situations and skills, are easy to implement and can be edired and printed for convenience. Parents of autistic children report increases in positive behaviours, and a reduction in stress, confusion and negative behaviours, once social skills stories have been implemented.
Your son desperately needs a haircut. You know what will happen because it has happened before. There will be fighting and screaming. He will be overwhelmed, over-stimulated, and under-prepared no matter how much you explain to him. You will feel embarrassed, guilty, and helpless.
The same normal event this time after implementing social skills stories as an autistic support:
Your son desperately needs a haircut. You explain to him what will happen, but this time, you share him an autism social skills story about him getting a haircut. He sees, with visual pictures, a step by step plan of what will happen, making a less common event more predictable and routine.
During the haircut, your son begins to feel uncomfortable, but now, you are armed with the very same story you read earlier, your autistic visual support. You can review the social skills story during the actual event, comforting and calming your child, the haircut can continue and you can feel more relaxed and ready to cope.
Any communication difficulties, behavior, skill, event or activity can be helped using visual tools such as social skills stories.
FOR EXAMPLE: Visiting the dentist, shopping, visiting grand parents, calming down, attending a party and so on. Even every day skills can be tackled using social stories such as: tooth brushing, taking a shower, asking questions, sharing, taking turns and so on...
Why do social skills stories work?
Social skills stories work because they put an end to the stress, worry and anxiety both you and your child with autism feel whenever a routine changes, a new skill needs mastering or something changes, even something small.
They help YOU teach YOUR child vital coping strategies for social skills both everyday and less uncommon
Social Stories answer the "wh" questions (who, where, why, when and what) making the child with ASD feel more comfortable with the new skill or old skill being re-enforced, helping them and YOU to cope and feel less anxious and stressed.
PLUS the autistic social skills story can help your child with autism learn appropriate behaviors, and react and act in a more positive manner, helping with skills such as autism and making friends, being a good sport and so on...
