Social Stories (or preparation stories) can have a great impact on students with autism. Other students who have challenges surrounding memory, routine, socialization and behaviour can also benefit from the explicit, personalized education pieces.
Today's case study - Miranda at Fulton's - proves that adding the video element to a social story can be very effective. Not only can the student hear and read about appropriate actions, the student can see the modeled behaviour in action. Better yet, a student can sometimes be the star of the video, and see him/herself on film successfully completing activities.
Another note: Video Social Stories can be saved and viewed on the student's iPod Touch!! Very accessible!
