Designing Social Stories
Children with special needs may not always have perfect social skills but with Social Stories, they can learn and develop their skills.
Social stories are simple, personalised tools to help children understand and navigate social situations or specific events.
They are short narratives using pictures and simple text, to provide information about what to expect, how to behave and what others might be thinking or feeling in a given situation.
The Stories can be creatively designed and personalised to suit each child’s specific circumstances or interests.
Typically, social stories make a significant impact on children's social behaviour.
They serve as a powerful tool to support social development and to navigate the social world with greater ease and understanding.
