Why use Social Scripts?
Social scripts are a great tool for teaching socially appropriate
behaviours and appropriate responses in various social situations. Socially
scripts are usually paired with visuals to support auditory learning.

Social scripts attempt to support students in developing a theory of


mind by explaining social situations as well as what another person might
be thinking and feeling and/or why they may behave in certain ways. In
addition, social scripts model appropriate interactions and appropriate
social responses, thus reducing confusion and unpredictability.

The key to social scripts is personalization. Please feel free to modify


the templates found in the Universal Supports Icon by including
personalized pictures, names, and phrases to create more meaningful
narratives.

After reading a social script, give the student chances to role play and
practice the skill with a peer or adult. It is important to provide many
opportunities for the student to read the social script and practice the
skill.
