This 15th Anniversary Edition of her best-selling book offers ready-to-use stories that parents and educators have depended on for years―with new sections added!

Developed through years of experience, these strategically written stories explain social situations in ways children and adults with autism understand while teaching social skills needed to be successful at home, school, work, and in the community. Selected Reading Questionnaire.

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

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 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.
