There appears to be a role for Social Stories and video models woven together into a social skills therapy program in the schools.
The purpose of this study was to test a method of teaching social skills at school to children with high functioning autism. The study used the computer to present Social Stories and video models. All three boys (6-10 years old) in the study improved their social skills so much that their social skills were almost at the same level as their peer's social skills. The teachers liked the social skills treatment program. Writing good Social Stories requires some training and practice, however, and the authors suggest that schools offer training to staff in how to write Social Stories.
