What's It About?
Story makers put pictures, text, and audio on pages to create a story. Pictures can be stock or original, and audio is recorded right on the device. The goal is for the story to make a positive impact on current or future behavior.
Is It Any Good?
SOCIAL STORIES is a quick and simple way to create social stories for kids on the autism spectrum and for any others who might benefit from structured, predictable, story-based behavior reinforcement. As a tool, it's very basic, and the real value kids get out of it will depend heavily on what the adult puts into it. With the right planning and effort, Social Stories can be a good tool for helping kids understand and appropriately handle social situations.
