Social stories are an important type of visual support often used with children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome or other special need. This social stories found in this app use simple text and descriptive pictures to explain the why and how of different social skills.
Social interactions may be especially difficult for children with an autism spectrum disorder, adhd, or other social delay. Many children, especially those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome and other special need, often fail to pick up on social cues, making learning a social skill especially difficult. Social stories may increase awareness and maintenance of social skills.
Social stories were first defined by Carol Gray in 1991 and are commonly used to break down a task or social situation into small and easy to understand steps, often accompanied by descriptive pictures. Social stories are incredibly easy to implement and are used by many professionals for a wide range of behaviors.

User friendly

The Social Story App is easy to use to create custom social stories. The structure is clear. Adding photos from the iPad allows teachers to personalize the specific story. It would be great if we could print custom stories or send them as a file to another teacher. I also wish they filled the screen when played. But this app has encouraged me to write multiple stories and it is definitely user friendly! The library of written stories is very helpful. There is a good selection of familiar needs. Thank you!
An easy and personalized way to creat social stories

I just found and started using this app. It is great!! It is so easy to use and so quick. I love that you can record and add your voice to the story. Such an amazing tool for parents or other adults that are trying to help children with autism and other special needs.
Easy to Use

Easy to set up and use. Like that you can use real pictures so children can see their actual environments.
Love this!

We used this mainly for flying but now with being quarantined at home it’s so handy to keep us on track and let my kiddo know what’s coming next. So versatile and simple!
Technical Difficulties

I love this App and have been using it for years; however, I am unable to select the option to send story as a pdf like I’ve done many times before. I’ve paid for the pro version so it’s part of the app package I use. Please help!
Fantastic functionality, super easy!

I never review apps. I know I should, but I don’t. This app is an exception. It is superb! Very, very easy to use. There’s a free version that you can download, and you can make a few custom social stories with it. And there are a couple of tiers of paid versions that allow more stories in your library and various other nice features. Get the free version to try it out. If you have a non-conversant or communication-challenged loved one, I bet you’ll end up buying the full version and using it all the time. So awesome!!
Great app but can you just let people make endless stories?
Among gioase
This is my favorite story app and it is number one story app but it’s not all that fair to not make endless stories so please let us do that and make ads in it so we can get a lot more like it’s a real free app and put in this thing where you have to put in a code to unlock something once a day or make a wheel that spins and click the button that says stop to get a unlockable in-game
Awesome app and exceptional customer service

This is a wonderful app. You can create your own stories with own pictures and videos. Customer service is great. I was having issues with family sharing and I reached out to the company and they were extremely helpful. Highly recommend this app.
