Social Stories are an effective tool to be used for children with behavioral disorders. A social story is  basically just a script, which helps the child understand inappropriate behaviors, and to teach them how they what they should do instead. The words are very simple, and to the point.

A typical script could look like this one:

Title:

"I am Mad"

Sometimes people feel

mad…

Sometimes I feel mad…


It is OK to feel mad.

It is not OK to hit

other people.


Hitting hurts my friends ...
