[QUOTE="buddy, post: 490474, member: 12886"] TeDo, If those were social stories they had to be lousy because the whole point of the social story is to be specific and directly teach to the child's need. I wrote one one time for a kid who refused to wear undies to school even though he had been potty trained for the most part. My boss laughed her had off (not an autism teacher at all) and it had pictures of undies, he is a big boy now, pictures of each of the other kids who he loved who had undies and the next day...guess who brought 7 pair of undies to school!
