Social stories may help children with autism learn appropriate behaviors.
Social stories tell children what should happen in a situation, and when, how, and why it should happen. Different social stories describe different situations. This article described studies that have tested whether social stories are helping children with autism. Social stories were originally designed for high-functioning children with autism, but the tool has been tried with children with more severe learning difficulties. The authors said that social stories can be helpful, but it is important to consider each child's skills when deciding whether to use it for that child with autism. The authors suggested improvements for study design in future research on this question.
