One skill that should be taught to Sarah is social skills, specifically how to initiate and maintain interactions with peers. Identify and describe one tool or strategy to teach this skill. A tool that can be used to teach social skills to Sarah is social stories. Social stories are short narratives that describe a social situation concisely. They can be used to teach children appropriate social behaviors and can help them understand the thoughts and feelings of others. For Sarah, a social story about how to initiate and maintain interactions with peers can be developed. The story can include pictures and simple language to make it more accessible to her. Describe what steps you will take when the problem behavior occurs. When Sarah withdraws socially, the following steps can be taken: Validate her feelings: Acknowledge Sarah's feelings and let her know that it's okay to feel sad or anxious. This can help her feel heard and understood. Provide comfort: If Sarah is crying or upset, provide comfort by holding or rocking her. This can help her regulate her emotions and feel safe. Model appropriate social behavior: Model appropriate social behavior by initiating interactions with Sarah and showing her how to take turns in a conversation or activity.
Encourage and reinforce positive social behavior: When Sarah initiates an interaction or plays with a peer, provide positive reinforcement such as praise or a reward. This can help increase the likelihood of her engaging in positive social behaviors in the future. By using social stories, providing comfort, and modeling appropriate behavior, and encouraging positive social behavior, Sarah can develop her social skills and become more comfortable interacting with peers.
