Social Stories™ are a very popular evidence-based instructional strategy used with people with autism and other social communication disorders. They are a wonderful "go-to" intervention for an infinite variety of purposes.
Recently (spring 2023), the criteria for Social Stories were updated. Carol Gray, the creator of Social Stories, has graciously shared a 5-hour pre-recorded presentation that will be available on the TASN ATBS Moodle site. In addition, those who complete the Moodle training can submit an original Story for a chance for Carol to review how their Story meets the new Social Story™ 10.4 Criteria during a live webinar!
