SOCIAL STORIES
WHAT?
Social Stories are simple, short, picture based descriptions of a particular situation, event or activity, which include specific information about what to expect in that situation and why.
Social stories present information in a literal, 'concrete' way, which may improve a person's understanding of a previously difficult concept, situation or activity. The presentation and content can be adapted to meet different people's needs.
