What are Social Stories?

Social Stories are a tool for teaching social skills to children with autism and

related disabilities. Social stories provide an individual with accurate

information about those situations that he may find difficult or confusing. The

situation is described in detail and focus is given to a few key points: the

important social cues, the events and reactions the individual might expect to

occur in the situation, the actions and reactions that might be expected of him,

and why. The goal of the story is to increase the individual's understanding of,

make him more comfortable in, and possibly suggest some appropriate responses

for the situation in question.
