Autism & PDD: Social Skills <strong>with</strong> Friends :<br />

Picture Stories & Language Activities<br />

Ages: 3-8 Grades: PreK-3rd<br />

This approach works especially well for children <strong>with</strong> autism because they do not underst<strong>and</strong> or like the “gray”<br />

areas of social interaction. This program separates behaviors into easy-to-underst<strong>and</strong> categories of right vs.<br />

wrong.<br />

Outcomes<br />

Categorize social behaviors into two groups: RIGHT vs. WRONG<br />

Identify <strong>and</strong> use new vocabulary<br />

Process verbal information through matching sentences <strong>and</strong> pictures<br />

Answer yes/no questions<br />

Answer who, what, where, when, how, <strong>and</strong> why questions<br />

Take turns role-playing the actions in the stories<br />

Recall <strong>and</strong> retell the story through take-home activities<br />

Program Description<br />

The book starts <strong>with</strong> a chapter of lesson plans which is followed by eight social stories. Each story comes <strong>with</strong><br />

four colored pictures <strong>and</strong> accompanying sentence strips.<br />

Students role-play the wrong ways to act in addition to the right ways <strong>with</strong> each story. When they do this, students<br />

<strong>with</strong> autism divide the pictures in their minds into “black” <strong>and</strong> “white” (“If I act this way, it’s wrong. If I act this way,<br />

its’ right.”). You’ll also get a progress monitoring chart to illustrate outcomes <strong>and</strong> reproducible homework sheets.<br />

The program is structured to introduce one story lesson each week. There are lessons plans for each day that<br />

include suggestions for simplifying the program for lower-functioning students.<br />

In addition to social skills, your students will practice important receptive <strong>and</strong> expressive language skills. For<br />

children <strong>with</strong> autism, the routine <strong>and</strong> structure of this program <strong>and</strong> the familiar characters will reduce anxiety.<br />

Decreasing anxiety facilitates more compliant behavior, which increases the amount of learning time.<br />
