Social Story Tina Byerly

Disabilities

I based my social story on conflict with friends. Before developing my social story, I would

observe the student to see what is causing the conflict. For my scenario, I assumed the student

was upset because he was not getting to play his way and did not know how to compromise. I

used descriptive and directive phrases with accompanying pictures (Figure 1:1). To implement

my social story, I would first read it to the student. Then, I would review each part and model

what it would look like. Next, I would role-play conflict situations, with me being the one to

compromise. Finally, I would do the same situations, but this time, the student would be the one

to compromise. When the student could resolve conflict successfully, I would monitor his

interactions with friends. If the student could not resolve any disputes or became upset again, I

would repeat the training process with input from the student as to what went wrong.
