A note about social skill articles: these articles are written for older/more verbal students with less pictures and more text. They are intended to look more "grown-up" than our picture-based social skill stories. Many of the stories on this website were written for a specific student. Please feel free to alter the text based on your what is acceptable behavior in your location.
