Description: One-page, rebus-supported stories teach appropriate behaviors for typical needs in the home from Morning Routine to Sharing the TV and Using the Toilet. The ready-to-use lessons have just the right amount of detail for preschool and early primary students. The concise format makes it easy to keep a copy of the lesson where the social situation occurs. The stories consist of simple, concrete things to say and do. Each sentence in the story is supported by one or more pictures. Customize the lessons by adding student-specific information, editing the text, and using a photograph in place of the generic picture in the book. There are instructional and behavioral lessons. The instructional lessons teach young children what they need to do or say in social situations that are sometimes overwhelming (e.g., Trying New Food). The behavioral lessons target specific social behaviors that need to be stopped (e.g., I Eat My Own Food). Lessons were written with input from families of children with autism.
