Carol Gray

The New Social Story Book, Revised & Expanded by Carol Gray is geared towards children on the autism spectrum, their family and caregivers, and their peers. There is a tutorial section at the beginning, going over each of the criteria of what makes a Social Story™, and how to create new ones for your own child, or class. Sections follow that cover a variety of ages, and/or skill sets. These stories may be tailored to fit your own childrens’ needs, and that is encouraged since each child show more is different. So, consider them templates or guidelines. There are sections on self-care, coping with change, dealing with feelings, among many others. This would be great to have in every classroom that works with kids in the spectrum.

I love this book for many reasons, the first is that this book comes with a CD. The CD is all about short stories and your students can hear about social skills by someone else. Some children also learn better by listening to something so this would be a good book for that.

LOVE LOVE. This book is great for kids of all ages and maturity. This is also a book that can be read independently or in front of a class. It really relates to real life and real life problems.

A revised version of Carol Gray's excellent book, includes a CD and over 180 stories to help in every situation. Highly recommended.
