definition of social stories: Short stories that describe a social situation, including social cues and appropriate behavior. Social stories are used to teach social skills through the use of accurate information about those situations that the child may find difficult or confusing. Effective social stories use several types of sentences. For example, an affirmative sentence type is one that gives the point of view of the people involved in the situation or the general culture. The other sentence types are control sentences, cooperative sentences, directive sentences, perspective sentences, and descriptive sentences.

Is it harmful?

There are no known negative effects of social stories. However, among physicians, there is a belief that social stories may train children with autism to learn only one response to a given situation. As a result, some physicians recommend RDI, Relationship Development Intervention, which seeks to teach children how to have appropriate responses in any situation (13).
