Social Narratives:

Can the key elements of this skill be appropriately depicted and connected in a social narrative?

The social narrative might help the student to cope with those tasks within a job that he does not prefer.  The narrative might emphasize the rationale behind why those tasks are still important and necessary in the job.  Using language and examples appropriate to the student, the narrative might convey that in every job, there are tasks that we don’t want to do, but we have to do them anyway in order to keep our jobs.  The social narrative may prove helpful in customer service and to address frustrations related to address the concrete skills of a job.   For example, the narrative might support the student in coping with copy machine errors (a frustration we are all likely to experience!):
