Social Stories
Are you finding it difficult leaving the house with your child, convincing them to wear new clothes or cancelling activities?
Sometimes changes are unexpected and you don’t have time to plan ahead. But you and your child can still prepare for coping with sudden adjustments. Social stories explain social situations to children with autism and help them learn socially appropriate behaviour and responses. These stories are sometimes called social scripts, social narratives or story-based interventions.
Below is an example of a social story:
A social story can be created for almost any social situation, and it can also be used with other therapies such as ABA. They are used to present information in a literal, ‘concrete’ way, and improve a child’s understanding of a previously difficult or ambiguous situation or activity. They explicitly point out:
🧩 details about the setting
🧩 what typically happens in that setting
🧩 what actions or behaviour are expected from children in a particular setting.
🧩 what typically happens in that setting

Check out how you can use social stories help your child behave in different social situations.
