Social Narratives:

Based on the student’s needs and interests, and based on the targeted skill and related concepts, what type of social narrative should you develop – a situational story, coping comic, thought story, and/or coping card? 

A thought story can illustrate how someone feels about being repeatedly approached by a co-worker after declining several invitations.  This thought story would be used in effort to reveal that perspective and to change the student’s persistent requesting:

This example of a situational story focuses on the rules of what to share with peers/co-workers when using social media websites:

"Managing Relationships With Co-Workers - Graphic Organizer - Situational Story

How can you visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests and preferences into this social narrative to increase motivation and engagement?

What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. images, bolding, highlighting) might you add to the social narrative to support comprehension and to promote attention to key details?

If necessary, adjust a situational story’s formatting by inserting icons, bolding important words, or even creating a bulleted list of the main points.

Can you design the narrative so that it might not only be used in practice settings, but also reviewed independently by the student in generalized settings? 

In order to align this intervention topic area with the unique needs of the student, do you need to create a social narrative in the View2do program?
