[senco-forum] Inappropriate boy's behaviour

From: WrayJanice Wray <jwwray14 at hotmail.com>

I recently went on an ASD course where the story was told of a young man 
with similar behaviour. He responded well to a social story where it was 
explained that such behaviour is for a private place - then it was realised 
just how many doors have 'Private' written on them! - and the social story 
had to be rewritten.

Enjoy the timelessness of the holiday - June
