How's it going communicator
Product code: SD08024
Allows children to show non-verbally that they require help when they find it difficult to say. Great to use in the classroom to allow the teacher and Learning Support Assistants to distribute their time and give the children another means of asking for help. Fairly heavy therefore would not be suitable for children with behavioural difficulties.

This book consists of 92 social stories all clearly presented and often illustrated. The subjects covered include our bodies, home routines, eating habits, my feelings, social skills, play and friendships, school routines and school work. The topics cover a wide range of issues within each of these headings and each section is introduced with additional information about how to broach the area being addressed.
This is an excellent time saving resource and serves as a really helpful starting point in creating personalised stories. There are clear instructions on how to use social stories and tips on how to adapt the
stories for each individual. There is also a brief section on creating original stories if the behaviour is not covered in the book.
The stories are not intended to be used as written in the book but are
presented as possible models to be individualised with the
involvement of the child. As such copies of the stories on a card would be helpful to speed up this process but as the stories are quite brief this is not a big failing.

Social Pictures review
I found these pictures to be extremely useful in evaluating children’s understanding of how others may feel given a wide range of situations. The pictures are very clear and the feelings portrayed quite unambiguous. There is a large range of characters ranging from young children to adults and so the resource is useful for many different client groups. They can be used both for assessment of empathy as well as a good starting point for working on emotional language and other areas of pragmatics. A CD is included which allows for specific feelings to be focused on and/or given as homework practice.
