      Thanks Andrea! I think having different programs to create social stories is great because you are able to customize and pick the social story layout that matches the student!

    I love this social story! Social stories are a great way for students to learn about the appropriate ways to approach social situations. I think seeing these types of stories can also help them feel more comfortable in that real life situation. The little boy is super cute too :)
