About the course

 

This one-day workshop is delivered by Dr Siobhan Timmins, Certified Social Stories Trainer, and aims to support people in understanding how to develop and use Social Stories™.

Using lecture, discussion, demonstration, and a series of very short, fun, and informative activities, participants will gain an updated understanding of what a Social Story is (and what it is not), and learn how to develop a Social Story (or Social Article for adults) according to the current Social Stories 10.2 criteria. You will also leave equipped with new Social Story topics and strategies to make Social Stories work harder and longer for each person on the autism spectrum from first steps through to adulthood.

This training uses the most up to date official Social Story 10.2 presentation and handout materials, as well as real life examples of successful Stories, written for children and young adults in the UK both in special education and mainstream schools and colleges.
