Using Social Stories to Teach and Generalize Skills

in more classic teaching settings. They are appropriate for learners
of all ages. This workshop will address:

• Definition of Social Stories ™ including defining criteria
• How to determine a skill, concept, context, or achievement to
  be addressed by the Social Story ™
