Social Stories may be able to help children with autism learn social skills.
This study was designed to see if Social Stories could teach social skills to two children with autism. Social Stories were being used to teach a 10-year-old boy to decrease his use of directions and to teach a 12-year-old boy to use compliments. In both cases the Social Stories achieved the desired outcome. The boys liked the Social Stories but did not give the Social Stories the highest ranking. The authors conclude that Social Stories are an easy and cheap therapy option that can be done by parents, teachers, and aids.
