Social stories were developed by Carol Gray, and are an extremely effective, widely used, and evidence-based strategy for teaching autistic learners, and those with other social communication disorders, about what to expect, and what is expected, in a wide range of situations.

In this webinar with Claire Romito (@teachingplans.ie), participants will learn what a social story is and what it can be used for, the essential features of a social story, and how to write effective social stories for the children they work with.

Participants will receive free, sample social stories which they can edit to suit the needs of their own students/ children.
