tips, communication strategies, and more! These webinars are for educators, families,
and anyone else interested.
Lunch + Learns happen on the second Friday of each month from 12:00-12:30pm.
Social Narratives
A social narrative is a personalized story used to help students understand a social situation and assist them in developing a skill, behavior, or response to handle a specific situation effectively.
In this Lunch + Learn, we will explore what social narratives are, how to develop one, how to implement them, and how to evaluate if they are achieving the desired outcome.
