There are many
great resources for parents and children out there who may struggle with a type
of special need. Special needs can vary from struggling
with telling time to struggling with reading. Special needs can be in the area
of academics or non-academics. Some special needs are social,
emotional, and academic. Because there is such a vast array of special
needs, we like to spotlight resources we think would be helpful depending on the
family’s situations. We’ve highlighted one
great resource below.
Resource: Social
Stories
What Is It? Social
stories are a way for children who struggle socially to read about and even act
out appropriate responses to social situations at home or at school.
These stories can also be about other life skills such as going to the dentist
or checking out a book from the library. It is helpful to use these stories
before the event occurs or after the event does not go well. In the social
area, it gives the child words and options to use when she is having difficulty
with coming up with her own.
Some common social stories are about:
- Washing Hands
- Using the Bathroom
- Brushing Teeth
- Taking Medicine
- Using a Tissue
- Getting a Haircut
- Clipping Fingernails
- Washing Hair
- Taking Turns
- Playing with Friends (in school and at home)
- Sharing
- Shopping at the grocery store
- Going to the bank
- Eating out
