Over the last decade, Carol Gray's Social Stories approach has become
established as a highly effective way of teaching social and life skills
to children on the autism spectrum. Taking the form of short narratives,
the Stories in My Social Stories Book take children step by step through
basic activities such as brushing your teeth, taking a bath and getting
used to new clothes. It also helps children to understand different
experiences such as going to school, shopping and visiting the doctor.
These stories are written for preschoolers aged from two to six, and the
book is a useful primer for all young children - but most especially
those on the autism spectrum.
My Social Stories Book contains over 150 Stories, and is illustrated
throughout with line drawings by Sean McAndrew, which form a visual
counterpart to the text. A helpful introduction explains to parents and
carers how to get the most out of the book.
