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.

Pros and cons of Social Story Creator & Library app for iPhone and iPad

Social Story Creator & Library app good for

Good app but No where in description does it say u only get 2 stories. Then when u go to upgrade it has 3 options but NO PRICING!!! I should not have to go into each option to find out what each one costs!!! U should b upfront w buyers.
This is a great app to quickly create social stories. You can print them out into book form and insert real pictures. The update allows you to change the font- great addition. The old font was hard for younger students to read. It is difficult to know how much the social stories cost since there is just a $ for $$. So I have not bought any. I like that I can customize and build my own story. I am having issues with the app right now when I email the pdf to myself. It is telling me it sends, but it is not sending- so I cant get the story in print form. Other than that- I really like the app and use it daily when writing social stories for my students.
Easy to make your own social stories and upload photos to personalize them. Great app!
Our 5 year old son made us so proud by creating his "story". I let will definitely help him understand what the dos and dont should be as he grows up. Plus its a great way to remember your child as s/he grows up.
Great app! My student with autism loved this app. I did, however, have trouble when I tried emailing the PDF file to my email. It does not send as a PDF and therefore the computer cannot read it. I would love it if this was fixed so that I could print the story out! Thanks!
I work as a paraeducator at an elementary school and this is an awesome app for social stories! My students love the pre made stories and also love creating their own! And its so easy to share the story they made with other paraeducators and teachers ! Highly recommended if youre looking for an app for social stories for working as an educator

Some bad moments

Not super intuitive. Content is lovely once you sort it out. But overall this app is a money grab. They get you in low and give you basically access but no content. Then they charge you incrementally for every little thing. If you want this, commit to at least $20-$30+.
For starters, to make this app usable, It needs the ability to change certain settings like the font and the ability to have navigation controls.
I would give this app 5 stars, but the main reason I downloaded it was to print social stories for my students to have in the gen ed classroom. I am unable to send the stories to my email or print them out :/ I also tried to contact the developers, but the button to report a problem does not work either. Please fix the printing/emailing issues!!!!
Wonderful app!! I am able to upload my own photos, record my own voice, and design however The story for my child! I can also upload pre-made stories. Other apps cost $30-50 for this same awesome app! Thank you so much!!
This was a great story app for my child. I downloaded for iPhone and will certainly get it on my iPad as well!
Wow! This is such an amazing app especially to kids! This can encourage them to be more creative in writing and help enhance their imagination! And having an illustration is a big plus!
