A SOCIAL STORIES™ INTERVENTION PACKAGE FOR STUDENTS WITH AUTISM IN INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM SETTINGS

Abstract

A Social Stories™ intervention package was used to teach 2 students with autism to read Social Stories, answer comprehension questions, and engage in role plays. Appropriate social behaviors increased and inappropriate behaviors decreased for both participants, and the effects were maintained for up to 10 months. This intervention package appears to be useful in inclusive classroom environments and does not require intensive supervision of the child's behavior.
