Social Narratives
Social narratives are structured stories that help individuals understand and navigate social situations. They often include descriptions of specific scenarios, expected behaviors, and possible responses. These narratives are particularly useful for individuals with autism or other social communication challenges, as they provide clear guidance on how to interact in various contexts.
Typically, social narratives are personalized to reflect the individual's experiences and needs. They can be used in settings like schools, therapy, or at home to teach skills such as sharing, taking turns, or understanding emotions. By using relatable examples, social narratives aim to improve social understanding and reduce anxiety in social interactions.
