SOCIAL STORIES
//"Social Stories were developed by Carol Gray in 1991 to assist individuals with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) to develop greater social understanding. A Social Story is a short description of a particular situation, event or activity, which includes specific information about what to expect in that situation and why. They can provide an individual with some idea of how others might respond in a particular situation and therefore provide a framework for appropriate behaviour."// (from Social Stories and Comic Strip Conversations)

What are Social Stories? http://www.thegraycenter.org/social-stories/what-are-social-stories This is from The Gray Center, the organization of the developer of this technique, Carol Gray.
