Description: These one-page, picture-supported social scripts prepare students for social challenges presented by special events and activities in the home and community. The book has 40 ready-to-use lessons (stories). Customize the lessons by adding student-specific information, editing the text, and using a photograph in place of the generic picture in the book. The concise format makes it easy to keep a copy of the lesson where the social behavior occurs. Each sentence in the story is supported by one or more pictures. There are instructional and behavioral lessons. The instructional lessons teach preteens what to say or do in social situations that may be new to them.
