This book, recommended by the originator of Social StoriesTM, Carol Gray, is an authoritative guide to writing and using successful and targeted Social StoriesTM to develop understanding of social interaction.

The authors explain the key elements of Social StoriesTM, review the guidelines for writing them, and help writers to structure and develop their stories. They provide detailed guidance and encouragement for the different stages of what is often a challenging process, offering advice on presentation and suggestions for using the approach to enhance other strategies.
