Are Social Stories Effective in ABA?
Manage episode 380051964 series 2966679
Social stories, or social narratives, are a great tool to use in ABA. However, there’s no documented evidence to suggest they eliminate negative behavior. Here, we discuss why we still use social stories and how to utilize them correctly. In ABA, we typically use social stories as a piece of a larger treatment puzzle.
It’s important to note that social stories by themselves don’t eliminate behaviors or teach skills. However, when paired with other interventions, they are effective. We share some examples of how to use social stories and how to measure progress and collect data. We’ve also linked a couple of past blogs on social stories and emotional regulation below.
What’s Inside:
- The origin of social stories and how we use them in ABA.
- How to use social stories to decrease negative behavior.
- Examples of social stories in action.
