URL: https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/children-disabilities/article/social-stories

Children who have difficulties with social interactions often have trouble interpreting social situations and responding appropriately. The Head Start Early Childhood Learning & Knowledge Center (ECLKC) Social Stories™, developed by Carol Gray, help children understand the events and expectations in their lives.

The Head Start Center for Inclusion (HSCI) offers a library of one-page Social Stories™ that can be downloaded, printed out, and customized for immediate use. Teachers and parents may also use these as a template to write their own stories that meet a child’s individual needs.
