At B.E.L.I.E.F. Eclectic Learning, we recognize how powerful effective communication strategies can be when supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. One evidence-based tool we often use is social stories.
Social stories are short, personalized narratives that help children better understand social situations, manage behavior, and build important social-emotional skills.
Here are a few tips for using social stories with your child:
✔ Focus on a specific situation – Choose something your child finds challenging, like going to the doctor or sharing during playtime.
✔ Keep it clear and relatable – Use simple language, visuals, and examples that reflect your child’s world.
✔ Review it regularly – Read the story with your child often, especially before the situation arises.
✔ Celebrate progress – Reinforce the story by praising your child when they use the behavior or skill in real life.
We’re here to support families with practical, research-based strategies like these. Reach out to B.E.L.I.E.F. Eclectic Learning to learn more about how we can help your child thrive.
