In this episode, we will discuss: ✅ Social scripts are a visual tool that helps children with ASD, ADHD, ODD, and PDA understand social rules and interactions. ✅ They describe social situations and skills and can be helpful in engaging in new activities or understanding expectations and rules. ✅ Successful social scripts use photos, line drawings, or videos to support the text and involve the child in their creation. ✅ The language used in social scripts should be flexible, positive, and easy to understand. ✅ It's important to check understanding by reading the social scripts with the child and make any necessary edits. ✅ Re-reading social scripts often is important to reinforce learning, and it can be helpful to make copies for use at home and school. ✅ Social scripts promote true social understanding by helping children with ASD understand social rules, what others mean, and how to interact.

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference. In this episode, we will discuss: ✅ Children with autism often struggle to understand the inferred intent of language due to mind blindness, leading to difficulty following instructions. ✅ Certain words like "stop" and "no" can cause confusion and trigger an overreaction or escalate behaviour in children with autism. ✅ When using words like "stop," make sure to add more information to tell the child what they should do instead of what they shouldn't do. ✅ The words "could," "would," and "can" often sound like a choice rather than a direction, leading to confusion for children with autism. ✅ It's better to use clear and direct language like "start work" to avoid confusion and promote understanding ✅ Focusing on telling the child what to do instead of what not to do is more supportive and directive. ✅ It's important to use language that conveys the intended message clearly to ensure the child's safety and learning. ✅ Mind blindness can also cause difficulty in understanding another person's perspective. ✅ Teachers can improve communication by understanding the power of their words and using language that is clear, direct, and easy to understand. ✅ By making these changes in language, teachers can avoid triggers and improve communication with children with autism.
