How to teach your child to greet his/her peers appropriately.

Below are some social rules to teach your child with Autism about greetings.

1. The first time that you see someone that you know In the morning, it is polite to say “good morning.”
2. When you pass someone in the hallway or yard, it is polite to say “hi!”
3. When someone is leaving for the day it is polite to say “goodbye” “have a great day” or see you tomorrow. “

To work on this skill, practice role-playing with your child. Another idea is to write up a list of greetings and practice them in the natural environment.
