This boy can play with others, but does not know when others want to stop wrestling or being rowdy; he tends to keep going and then others get annoyed with him. Where can his mother and I find some social stories or ways to help him learn to observe social cues so he can know when the other kids want to stop, and change direction? Who has some ideas to help him change course? He's a bright boy, but needs some instruction.
Carol Grey is the inventor of social stories. Get on her website. She has lots of examples.
If you want to make your own social stories and have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, check out the app Stories2Learn. I believe it also comes with pre-made stories you can use.
An oldie but goodie the "help me be good" book series. They are simple books an to the point. What helped us was looking at photos of body posture and facial expressions and identifying the assosiated feeling/message. something to try...print photos out or take a photos of clear facial expressions and common postures/body language showing various messages and label them. Like happy sad angry....(for body language photos) label them acording tothe message...example...for a defensive or guarding posture you can lable it "STOP" or "BACK OFF" an open or receptive posture you can write "PLAY WITH ME"
We've printed a few social stories from this website as well...you can customize the character which might help him make that connection. I'm not sure if they have stories regarding rough and tumble play specifically...
