BBOD is introducing their series of social stories, written by our special education staff at BBOD. Directed by Nathan who has Down syndrome.
Today's episode features  Ben, Gabe and Linc. talking about what to when you have to wait.  
The social stories are designed to help our special needs friends navigate social situations. This is a helpful tool for teachers, parents, and caregivers to share and discuss with our special needs friends. Sherri, Kim, and Roberta discuss the importance of the social stories.
The goal of this social story is to use authentic voices so that children will be able to connect with the ideas presented in an  authentic manner. It is intended for use by parents, teachers, and caregivers to help support specific behaviors like when the schedule changes. Watch through this story with your child/student frequently in order to develop an understanding of when the schedule changes. Revisit the story periodically in order to reinforce  positive attitudes toward the expected behavior.
