There have been many imitators and authors inspired by Carol Gray and if you are thinking of posting a "social story " on line for others to share, do be careful. Carol has trademarked the term "Social Story" in an attempt to prevent the promulgation of stories that posit potentially misleading or confusing information for the AS child. CarolGray says you will need to picture the goal, gather information, and tailor the text. Picture the goal My top tip. For able pupils link to the idea of a science experiment...." We can change it if it doesn't help." And recruit the pupil as an investigator into the problem. They can help with sequencing (what comes next in a series of activities) and 'executive functioning' (planning and organising).It is important to sit down with the student and read the story to him or her or have them read the story to themselves. The children should be in a “ready to learn” state. Read the book several times and have the children read it as well if possible. Discuss personal experiencesregarding the story to make connections to real-world situations. After the Story Present the social story to the person at a time when everyone is feeling calm and relaxed, using a straightforward approach,egI have written this story for you.

It is important to keep the story more descriptive than directive.
