This course is designed for parents and professionals working on behalf of people with ASD.

Parents and professionals have used Social StoriesTM for many years to effectively share social information with children, adolescents, and adults with ASD and other social-communication delays and differences. Participants will have plenty of opportunities to practice skills and concepts as they are introduced, and to write a Social StoryTM for a child, adolescent or adults currently in their care. This is a fun and fast-paced, upbeat workshop that, in addition to teaching participants to write and implement a Social StoryTM provides plenty of positive and practical new ideas along the way.

Using lectures, demonstrations, case examples and activities, this one-day workshop will:

• Describe the research-based rationale that supports the approach
• Introduce each of the ten characteristics that define each Social StoryTM
• Share strategies for introducing and implementing a Social StoryTM at home or school

CEU's will not be offered at this workshop, however a Certificate of Completion, including contact hours, will be available at the conclusion of the workshop.
