This review is from: The New Social Story Book, Revised and Expanded 10th Anniversary Edition: Over 150 Social Stories that Teach Everyday Social Skills to Children with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome, and their Peers (Paperback)
This book had a lot of samples that can be used in helping children expand their social language skills. Great reference and resource for those who work with children with special needs.

This is a great resource for anyone that works with a child with ASD or other social skills challenges. It's so nice to have the CD so you can personalize the story very quickly. Highly recommend it!

Research-proven and effective,
By ShannonAnna - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Social Story Book, Revised and Expanded 10th Anniversary Edition: Over 150 Social Stories that Teach Everyday Social Skills to Children with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome, and their Peers (Paperback)
Gray and other scholars have amassed a great deal of research about the effectiveness of social stories, and I've read many of those articles in peer-reviewed research journals. In other words, while a lot of strategies for kids who have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are fad-based or passing, this isn't. My own experience (as a special educator certified in NC in the area of autism) in using social stories attests to that just as much as those research findings do.This resource includes a CD of social stories, which allows you to access stories and make child-specific changes to them without having to re-type the whole thing. That's a huge help! In the book, you'll find a tutorial section if social stories are new to you. Then there are sections with stories and pictures for: -Learning with Social Stories ( -Change (8 stories) -Mistakes (6 stories) -Me and My Feelings (21 stories, which is fantastic since this is a tough area for kids with ASDs) -Celebrations and Gifts (11 stories) -People Skills and Friendship (24 stories) -Bullying (9 stories) -Understanding adults (11 stories) -Home and Community (15 stories) -School (29 stories) -Planet earth (21 stories, including 12 about flying on airplanes - this seemed like an oddly titled chapter because most of the stories were only tangentially related to earth) -And a glossary This strategy takes time to get used to, but once you're comfortable with it, it can be a great tool for students with social difficulties. While it's been proven with students with ASDs, I've used it with students with emotional and behavioral disabilities and with students who are not socially adept as well. 24 of 28 people found the following review helpful

I liked it but he didn't,

This review is from: The New Social Story Book, Revised and Expanded 10th Anniversary Edition: Over 150 Social Stories that Teach Everyday Social Skills to Children with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome, and their Peers (Paperback)
I am a therapist and used this book with a 10 year old with Asperger's. I really liked the idea and the book, which is beautifully made and printed, and the accompanying CD, but he didn't really care for it. I used several stories and also made a couple customized stories based on her instructions, but while the parent and I liked the stories they weren't much of a hit with this little one either. We then used Jed Baker's picture social skills books, and he loved those. Maybe this approach would work with another child, but for now I am sticking with Jed Baker. I think in the future I may pull from either one depending on the child or skill at hand.

Disappointed with the CD,

The reason I bought this was so I could get the CD that comes with it and use it to change it to work for my son. It is in PDF format and you are not able to change the things on the CD. Each of these kids is different and it would be extremely helpful if you could change names or photos to be more familiar for the child. I am very disappointed in my purchase. I will try to use the ideas in the book but would probably return it if it was from a local store.
