Making eye Contact - Social Story

Making eye contact means looking directly at someone when you're talking to them. It shows that you're listening, interested and paying attention.
When you're making eye contact, it's important to look at the person's eyes and not at other things, like their hair or their shoes. And, it's also important to look at them for just the right amount of time. Not too long, as it can be uncomfortable, and not too short, as it might look like you're not paying attention.
Making eye contact is a great way to make others feel heard and respected. So, next time you're talking to someone, remember to look at them, make eye contact, and show that you're listening!

Social stories are a tool used to teach social and life skills to Autistic people or those with other developmental disabilities. They are short, simple, and descriptive stories that provide information about specific social situations, such as how to make a friend, how to behave in a restaurant, or how to handle disappointment.
The stories are written from the perspective of the person with the disability and typically include specific details about what to expect, what the appropriate behaviours are, and why they are important. The goal of social stories is to help individuals understand the social norms and expectations in different situations, and to provide a framework for appropriate behaviour. They are often used in combination with other interventions, such as visual supports and reinforcement, to reinforce the desired behaviours.
