Description

An amazing app for easily creating, sharing and printing educational social stories, visual schedules, and beautiful memories. This is a very valuable tool for any teacher, SLP, OT, direct care staff or parent! Children with special needs often need more direct instruction of social skills. Teaching social skills to any child may be easier and less stressful when visual supports, like social stories are used. The social stories found in this app explain accurate social information and ensures that your child will know what to expect in different situations. Features: • Easily create stories with pictures, recordings and text. • Share and receive created stories with other users. • Print PDFs of stories to have paper copies. • Stories can be made in any language. • Ability to purchase an entire library of over 20 pre-made social stories at one discounted price. • Organize stories into categories for particular skills, students or classrooms. • Lock students into categories or apps to limit access. • Create and play stories offline (with no internet connection). • Easy to use, intuitive format. • Can be used to make visual schedules or other types of visual prompts. Social stories are an important type of visual support often used with children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome or other special need. This social stories found in this app use simple text and descriptive pictures to explain the why and how of different social skills. Social interactions may be especially difficult for children with an autism spectrum disorder, adhd, or other social delay. Many children, especially those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome and other special need, often fail to pick up on social cues, making learning a social skill especially difficult. Social stories may increase awareness and maintenance of social skills. Social stories were first defined by Carol Gray in 1991 and are commonly used to break down a task or social situation into small and easy to understand steps, often accompanied by descriptive pictures. Social stories are incredibly easy to implement and are used by many professionals for a wide range of behaviors. See what our reviews are saying about us! “Wonderful app!!

    I have emailed this “company” 4 times and have heard nothing back - just an automated email that says it can take a week to get back. It’s been 3 weeks and nothing. Don’t buy this app!

    I created the perfect and much needed social story for my son for tomorrow, but unfortunately it will not allow me to share it. I keep getting an error message that reads, “ No email client available. it looks like an email app isn't available. Check to make sure you have one installed and configured.”
  • I’m the autistic person this app was for

    Most of the ones they already have are for purchase only and I was hoping for more of a template when creating the social story. But whatever. What was concerning to me is that- by default it has parental controls. What? And you couldn’t permanently turn them off witch really rubs the the wrong way. Autistic teens and adults exist and we use social story’s too.
  • Good app but difficult to share

    Overall the app is really simple and easy to use but everything I’ve made is unable to be shared via email despite many attempts
  • Not bad but……

    Okay so I like this app, but once you make two stories, you can’t make anymore. You have to pay money to to create more stories. And it isn’t that fun so yeah. All you do is create a story and then read other books that are like for kindergarten. I do like how you can add a picture to your book, but that’s not really it. I just want to create more stories then that would be a little more fun so please fix this. Or else it’s just going to be boring for everyone. And no one will like this app unless you pay. FOR MONEY. Ugh it’s just so annoying and my mom doesn’t let me buy stuff that you have to pay on games only my own money and I’m just a kid so I’m not wasting my own money just for that. It’s ridiculous. So that’s why I delete the app. Because it’s so boring
  • App is great except it’s not free

    I made a story and tried to send it but there was no OVERT message to indicate u can’t really do anything with the app unless you pay $$. Which is cool, I don’t mind to spend the money but what about the recipient? Do they also have to pay $$ to open it and read it? BumMER
  • Really bad app

    This is a wonderful app. You can create your own stories with own pictures and videos. Customer service is great. I was having issues with family sharing and I reached out to the company and they were extremely helpful. Highly recommend this app.
  • Great app but can you just let people make endless stories?

    By Among gioase
    This is my favorite story app and it is number one story app but it’s not all that fair to not make endless stories so please let us do that and make ads in it so we can get a lot more like it’s a real free app and put in this thing where you have to put in a code to unlock something once a day or make a wheel that spins and click the button that says stop to get a unlockable in-game
  • Fantastic functionality, super easy!

    I never review apps. I know I should, but I don’t. This app is an exception. It is superb! Very, very easy to use. There’s a free version that you can download, and you can make a few custom social stories with it. And there are a couple of tiers of paid versions that allow more stories in your library and various other nice features. Get the free version to try it out. If you have a non-conversant or communication-challenged loved one, I bet you’ll end up buying the full version and using it all the time. So awesome!!
