Successful Social Stories for Young Children with Autism: Growing Up with  Social Stories

Social Stories are acknowledged as a very successful way of teaching concepts and social understanding to children with autism spectrum disorders, but considerable skill is needed to write the most effective story.

This clear and engaging book introduces ways of thinking about the issues your child finds difficult, and includes 32 stories created by Dr Siobhan Timmins for her son during his early years, with helpful explanations for how she did it, and what the underlying thinking was behind each set of stories.

She explains how the stories build upon each other to help the child to understand further, more complex topics, and how to see the connections so that you can best help your child.

From basic skills such as learning to listen, wait and share, to common fears, this book takes the mystery out of creating effective Social Stories and amply demonstrates how to put together a cohesive set of stories which your child can understand and relate to.
