Successful Social Stories™ for School and College Students with Autism
Jessica Kingsley Publishers (Verlag)
978-1-78592-137-7 (ISBN)
As children grow up and spend more and more time away from home in schools and colleges, life often seems to get increasingly complicated. Autism makes the challenges they meet in these new environments even more difficult to navigate. Social Stories™ is a highly regarded strategy that parents and teachers can use to help young people with autism understand the new social situations they face during this time. Writing an effective Story takes a special set of skills, and in this fully illustrated book Dr Siobhan Timmins explains how to acquire and hone these techniques and put them into practice.
Following on from her book on writing Social Stories™ for young children, this book on the next age group up includes 160 illustrations and clear examples based on the author's own experiences of raising a son with autism. She explains how to identify the underlying issues, and articulate the key ideas so that young learners can find connections between Stories to build a greater understanding of relationships, the adult world and their own identity. The book is an invaluable guide to creating bridges between young people and the parts of life they find most difficult.
Dr Siobhan Timmins left her work as a paediatrician to help her family navigate the challenges of autism when her son was diagnosed at the age of 2. Having found success with Social Stories™ throughout all stages of her son's development and schooling, Siobhan is now an approved Satellite Trainer in Social Stories™ and offers training in the approach to parents, professionals, and NHS staff. She is also the author of Successful Social Stories™ for Young Children: Growing Up with Social Stories, and an Associated Specialist at a special school in Essex.
