Autism, 5.04 (V) What is Social Narrative?

5.04 (V) What is Social Narrative?

In this lesson, you will watch a video featuring an evidence based practice, designed to help an individual anticipate and navigate change. The evidence based practice is called a Social Narrative. Many children on the autism spectrum, and those with other neuro-developmental differences have difficulty dealing with change. One strategy that can be helpful is using something called a Social Narrative. Social Narratives are an evidence based practice that have been shown to be effective for children from the ages of early childhood through transition. Social Narratives are interventions that describe social situations in some detail by highlighting relevant cues and offering examples of appropriate responding. They're aimed at helping learners to adjust to changes in routines and adapt their behaviors based on social and physical cues of a situation. Or they're used to teach specific social skills or behaviors. Social Narratives are individualized, according to the learner's needs, and typically, are quite short, perhaps including pictures, or other visual aids. Here is an example of a Social Narrative about spring break. My school will be closed for Spring Break. Spring Break is when students students and teachers get a vacation from school. I will stay home with my family during the spring break. Some things will be different. My routine may change. Maybe I will do something different or go somewhere during spring break. This is OK. I will try to listen to my mom and dad. They will help me understand what I will be doing each day. After the spring break, If my school will open again and I will go back to school. I will try my my best to have fun during spring break. This will make my mom, dad, and teachers very happy. Social Narratives are a quick, easy, and simple way to help your child anticipate changes in their routine. Or to adjust to things that may be different from what's usual.
