Social Scripting

In a small group or one to one setting, introduce {student} to appropriate social behavior with peers. To do this, write a “Reader’s Theater” or **“script”** at her level. In this “script” be sure that {student} plays the role of herself. She must practice exactly what she might say to peers at lunch. Read and reread this. Explicitly explain to {student} that, to speak with peers, she doesn’t always have to be funny or make jokes. She can talk about TV, the weather, her classes, etc. Practice the script in her small group class. Although this strategy has more research in the autism community, it is proven to work as a behavior management tool for kids with special needs of all kinds.
