Social Stories™ were developed by Carol Gray, President of The Gray Center.
A Social Story™ describes a situation, skill, or concept in terms of relevant social cues, perspectives, and common responses in a specifically defined style and format.
The goal of a Social Story™ is to share accurate social information in a patient and reassuring manner that is easily understood by its audience. Half of all Social Stories™ developed should affirm something that an individual does well.
Although the goal of a Story™ should never be to change the individual’s behavior, that individual’s improved understanding of events and expectations may lead to more effective responses.
Social Story books are available at the Gray Center website. You can also find stories using Gray's method by searching the internet. I am including a few here as well as stories we have created in class.
