Teaching Respect; Tone of Voice; Bad Attitude; Expected Behavior

Created by

School Counseling, Special Education, Speech Therapy

Respect is an expected behavior at all levels of a person’s life. Parents want their children to respect them. Teachers want their students to respect them. And of course kids want other kids to respect them. This particular skill seems to be lacking or degrading in many of our students these days. It may be a sign of parental role change, value changes, or even the media to name a few. Whatever parents wish to do at home is fine, but often times it shows up in our classrooms. So it can

Have you ever had those moments when a student says something that you just can’t believe they said? Have you ever asked a student, “Why would you do that”? or, “Don’t you know that” or the classic, “What were you thinking”? Then you probably have some students who could use a little direct teaching of the hidden rules. These are a set of habits and expectations that society creates and expects everyone to learn vicariously. When it becomes obvious that some kids don’t’ do this, we need dir

Somethings You Just Don't Say; Social Norms and Filter for Appropriate Behavior

Created by

School Counseling, Special Education, Speech Therapy

Ever have a student who says they don't care what other people think? Or want to debate what's "appropriate" (their opinion versus your opinion?). Typically kids pick up on social norms from observing other people or simply by making a mistake (once or twice). However, some students who have a more difficult time with picking up social skills seem to struggle with this. Hence we must directly teach them about social norms. Often times the kids who have difficulty in knowing these social norm

The subtleties of joining a group and a conversation and just plain hanging out can be extremely difficult for those with social cognitive deficits. This social story aims at the upper elementary, middle school and high schooler. We define what is hanging out with a basic concrete explanation first - that your body is in the group and everyone is talking and thinking (brain is also in the group) about the same thing. Common topics are reiterated and contrasted, using perspective taking though

Created by

School Counseling, Special Education, Speech Therapy

Kids have always been fascinated with words that give attention and swear words definitely fit this! We know that around the ages of 4 -6, kids love to talk anything “potty”. When trying to curb swearing with kids, it’s important to understand why kids swear. Obviously at different ages there are different reasons. Many times for younger kids it’s the fact that they can and they receive a specific reaction for others (perhaps acceptance from the peer group or shock from an adult). Swearing

We of course use perspective taking and explain that everyone just wants to have themselves be acknowledged. We provide a check list for body signals to show that you are interest

We remind our reader of the expected and unexpected behaviors they may have when this is encountered.

Our kids with social cognitive deficits or on the autism spectrum often have extremes in their thinking, creating great discomfort and issues for them with rather un-important or random events. For our kids, things are either “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong” with no in-between. They seem to lack in this vocabulary and the ability to see the “gray”. This lesson introduces the idea of in-between and provides a game for your student to play to learn and practice the in-between. First watch t

I often have a student who pretty much seems to default to mean words when they develop strong feelings. This never does anything but make the situation worse. I like to teach my kids that the feelings are ok, but own them! Tell someone how you feel rather than to say something that doesn’t ever solve your problem. Some kids really hook onto this technique and I’ve had several who stopped saying, “I hate you” or “You’re making me mad” (no one makes us get mad, we do it ourselves!). This s
