A social skills story is a story that is written to teach students about a specific social situation. Whether you are a newbie (welcome!) or a veteran in the special education realm, we bet you’ve heard of them. You might be more familiar with referring to them as Social Stories, which is the trademarked term used by Carol Grey (The woman who created the first social stories in the early 90’s. Thank you, Carol! We bow down to you!!!).
Brief and to-the-point, these stories offer clear cut explanations, expectations and guidelines to follow for a limitless number of topics.
